Healing is a complex process of orchestrated reactions and interactions with the
goal of restoring structure and physical properties to damaged tissues. The musculoskeletal system is composed of different types of connective tissues. When
healthy, each has a unique structure, function, and remodeling process. When
damaged, they demonstrate unique healing processes. However, similarities in the
process exist. Understanding these properties of healing is critical in the
development and application of regenerative therapeutics.
This article describes
the common phases of healing, differences between healing in musculoskeletal
tissues, factors that affect healing, and strategies to facilitate and optimize
healing.
