Clinical ConsiderationEvidence suggests that inflammation and undue mechanical tension caninitiate or contribute to hypertrophic scar (HTS) formation, and minimizinginflammatory responses and mechanical forces may prevent or reduce theformation of HTSs (Aarabi et al. 2007, Wang et al. 2011, Tziotzios et al.2012, Rabello et al. 2014).
