Pathophysiological Consideration

With wounds, it seems that the greater the destruction the poorer the

reconstruction, and undifferentiated tissue can be present for up to several

months post trauma. Skin remodels more quickly than deeper tissue, so on

the surface tissue the scar can appear normal (in presentation and function)

but below the surface there may be a thick, dense, irregular presentation,

devoid of microvacuole bubbles/sliding layer, which impacts function

(Guimberteau 2012). See also Fig. 2.2.
