Staged Healing Process of Post Traumatic Infected Wound: Personal Experience
Author(s): Esmael Ali Hamed*
Wound healing, as a normal biological process in the human body, is achieved through four precisely and highly
programmed phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. For a wound to heal successfully, all
four phases must occur in the proper sequence and time frame. Many factors can interfere with one or more phases of
this process, thus causing improper or impaired wound healing. This article reviews the recent literature on the
most significant factors that affect cutaneous wound healing and the potential cellular and/or molecular mechanisms
involved. The factors discussed include oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity,
medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. A better understanding of the influence of these factors on repair
may lead to therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds.. View More»
