Sequelae of open wound of upper limb - what does this mean
Sequela of open wound of upper limb is caused by a break in the skin of the upper limb which results in an infection of the tissue underneath the skin. this infection can cause swelling, redness, and pain, which can lead to further damage to the tissue and ultimately to scarring and loss of function in the affected limb.
What happens during the disease - sequelae of open wound of upper limb
The pathogenesis of sequelae of open wound of the upper limb is a complex process involving the disruption of the skin barrier, the invasion of pathogens, the activation of the inflammatory response, and the formation of a wound healing response. once the skin barrier is breached, the wound is exposed to bacteria and other pathogens, which can cause infection and lead to further tissue damage. the inflammatory response is triggered by the presence of these pathogens, leading to the release of cytokines and other mediators that promote further inflammation. this, in turn, can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which can cause a range of functional and aesthetic sequelae such as contractures, deformity, and disfigurement.
