A condition where scar tissue contracts and tightens, often leading to restricted movement.

Secondary Union

The healing process of a wound where the edges are not closely approximated, resulting in granulation tissue filling the defect before epithelialization.

Scar Formation

Suturing

The process of sewing or stitching up a wound or incision; commonly used to close cuts so that they can heal properly.
