Intrinsic and extrinsic factors are determinant for the healing process. Soft tissue injuries can be generally grouped into three categories: contusions, abrasions and lacerations.
Contracture. In pathology, a contracture is a shortening of muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby soft tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff, preventing normal movement. [1] [2] A contracture is usually permanent, but less commonly can be temporary (such as in McArdle disease ), [3] or resolve over time but reoccur later ...
