1. Injury-Induced Bleeding (0 - 10 Hours Post Injury) - Trauma induces damage to the surrounding blood vessels and capillaries. - Gravity may lead to blood pooling distal to the injury. 2. Inflammatory Phase (0 - 3 Days Post Injury) - Signs and Symptoms: Pain, swelling, redness, increased local temperature, and loss of function. - Stiffness of injured area due to peripheral muscle contraction or muscle guarding. This prevents further injury from excessive movement. 3. Proliferation Phase (2 Days - 6 Weeks Post Injury) - Proliferation of new collagen fibers (scar tissues) along the site of injury or line of stress. - Formation of new blood vessels. - Phagocytosis: Absorption of oedema and swelling (associated with decreased pain). 4. The Remodelling Phase (3 Weeks - 12 Months Post Injury) - Collagen fibers become more organized and dense along the site of injury. - 1 Year Post Injury: Injured tissue regained 80% of original strength. - Precaution: Injured tissue has a greater risk of re-injury. Physiotherapy is necessary for full recovery and injury prevention.
