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
