PY - 2010 T2 - Wound Healing Evidence-Based Management, 4e AB - Acute wound healing has been described to occur in the overlapping cascade of events of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. These events are presumed to occur whether the wound is an acute surgical wound closed by primary intention or an open traumatic wound left to close by secondary intention through contraction, granulation, and epithelialization. The timing of these events will vary depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the duration of wounding; the location, size, and depth of the wound; the causative factors; the presence of comorbid conditions that can delay healing; the patient's age; and certainly the presence of bacteria in numbers great enough to interfere with normal cellular events.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1184830377 ER -
