Study Notes
Soft Tissue Healing Overview
- Soft tissue healing involves various injuries like strains, sprains, dislocations, and contusions.
- Healing progresses through three distinct phases: inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling.
- Each phase has specific characteristics, treatment recommendations, and expected timeframes.
- The acronym PEACE (Protection, Elevation, Avoid anti-inflammatories, Compression, Education) is a crucial guide during the inflammatory phase.
- The acronym LOVE (Load, Optimism, Vascularisation, Exercise) is a guide during the proliferative and remodeling phases.
- Lifestyle factors (diet, activity levels, smoking/alcohol, stress) and comorbidities (age, obesity, diabetes, immunocompromised conditions) affect healing.
- Specific types of soft tissue lesions (e.g., ATFL, hamstring) and their grading (e.g., Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3) affect healing times and management.
Soft Tissue Lesions
- Strains affect the musculotendinous unit.
- Sprains damage the joint capsule or ligaments.
- Dislocations involve complete displacement of a joint.
- Subluxations involve partial displacement.
- Tendinopathy is tendon damage due to mechanical load.
- Synovitis is inflammation of the synovial membrane within a joint.
- Hemarthrosis is bleeding into a joint.
- Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa.
- Contusions are bruises caused by trauma.
Grades of Sprain/Strain
- Grade 1: Stretching or microscopic tears in tissue, minimal swelling and pain, nearly normal range of motion (ROM).
- Grade 2: Partial tear, moderate swelling, bruising, and significant pain with loss of ROM.
- Grade 3: Complete tear, severe pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of ROM.
Healing Times
- Healing times vary depending on the tissue injured and the grade of injury.
- A table details the approximate healing times for different tissues (muscle, tendon, ligament, meniscus/labrum, fracture) based on the exercise-induced grade. Specific examples from the provided tables are available.
Phases of Soft Tissue Repair
- Inflammatory Phase: Assessing tissue damage, clearing damaged tissue, lasting 4-6 days to 2 weeks. Focus on controlling stress to the injured area (protection), reducing swelling, and avoiding anti-inflammatories. Pain is often a key guide.
- Proliferative Phase: Tissue begins to repair, characterized by growth of capillary beds, collagen formation (Type III), and granulation tissue. Pain may be synchronous with tissue resistance during movement. Focus on carefully increasing tissue loading in a controlled manner, progressing gradually, and avoiding explosive movements.
- Remodeling Phase: Maturation of scar tissue, collagen alignment (Type I), and no inflammation. Pain is at end-range tissue resistance. Focus on gradually increasing the intensity, volume, and type of movement to promote full recovery and function. Focus on improving strength and proprioception, and returning to normal activity levels.
Factors Affecting Healing
- Lifestyle factors (diet, activity level, smoking/drinking, stress)
- Comorbidities (age, obesity, diabetes, immunocompromised conditions) impact healing outcomes.
Application (Clinical Cases)
- Three case studies illustrate how to assess the healing phase of patients with various soft tissue injuries.
- Case studies provide context for determining appropriate education and interventions.
- Specific examples of case studies and questions related to appropriate interventions are presented. For example, a patient with a Grade 1 ankle sprain will be in a different phase than a patient with a hamstring strain that occurred two months prior.
