In the third stage of wound healing, the injured tissue is rebuilt with collagen and extracellular matrix. Myofibroblasts migrate to the wound site and approximate the wound edges.

This leads to wound contraction and formation of the granulation tissue. New blood vessel formation - called angiogenesis - occurs simultaneously which facilitates the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the newly formed tissue.

In the final stage, type III collagen is remodeled and replaced with type Icollagen which has more tensile strength. Any factor or disease that can disrupt the normal stages of wound healing can lead to delayed wound healing. Some of the factors are described below:.

A common cause of delayed wound healing is infection. At the time of injury, microorganisms can enter the tissue. These microbes can delay wound healing by further prolonging the inflammatory process. Bacteria cause the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines which can inadvertently raise the levels of MMPs matrix metalloproteases , which are a family of enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix.

This enzyme degrades the granulation tissue at the wound site, hence contributing to a delayed wound closure. The commonly associated bacteria with delayed wound healing are P. aeruginosa and Staph Aureus. These bacteria tend to form 'biofilms' which are complex structures that resist antibiotics and degradation by the neutrophils.

Without adequate wound care and decontamination, healing is extensively delayed in the setting of bacterial superinfection. Collagen is an important constituent of granulation tissue and any nutritional deficiency that can affect its synthesis will lead to delayed wound healing.

Vitamin C, which is a cofactor required for collagen synthesis, and protein deficiency can negatively affect the wound healing process.

When assessing chronic wounds, wound care specialists need to consider the nutritional status of their patients. Addressing these deficiencies can help improve wound healing. Steroids are known for their potent anti-inflammatory effect and unfortunately, this effect can be destructive for wound healing.

Inflammation is an essential step in wound healing. As steroids inhibit the inflammatory process, they can halt normal wound repair. As a result, an inadequate amount of granulation tissue is produced.

Steroids are also known to increase the risk of wound infections which leads to impaired wound healing. Patients on long-term steroid use are also at an increased risk of developing diabetes, a metabolic syndrome that can further complicate the wound healing process.

Globally, million people are suffering from diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes is steadily rising, and diabetes-related complications are also expected to see an increase. Diabetes contributes to wound chronicity through multiple mechanisms. Patients with diabetes experience low tissue blood supply which affects the oxygen and nutrient supply to the wound site.

As a consequence,wounds heal slowly. Moreover, diabetes also predisposes individuals to neuropathy or nerve damage which means that diabetic patients aren't always aware of any trauma they experience.

Decreased tissue perfusion combined with neuropathic changes puts diabetic patients at an increased risk of developing chronic ulcers and wounds. Diabetes is the single most likely cause of lower-limb amputations in the United States.

To minimize these grim statistics, initial screening and management by podiatristsis vital. Podiatrists are well trained in the lower limb anatomy and are often the first to detect any initial ischemic or neuropathic changes.

They can formulate a comprehensive foot care plan, treatment, and follow-up for diabetic patients. Diabetic foot ulcers are complex and often require a multidisciplinary management approach. A comprehensive treatment plan led by vascular surgeons, podiatrists and endocrinologists can help significantly reduce the rate of amputations in diabetic patients.

Wounds require oxygen, nutrients, and proper blood supply for optimum healing. An adequate blood supply to the tissues is therefore essential. Peripheral vascular disease affects the blood supply to the extremities and is linked with the development of chronic wounds.

Peripheral Arterial Disease may be asymptomatic at first, later progressing to intermittent claudication and ischemic ulcers. The risk of peripheral vascular disease is four times higher in smokers.

Smoking cessation is hence an important part of chronic wound management. Like with diabetic foot ulcers, a comprehensive lower limb assessment by a podiatrist can help detect the presence of peripheral vascular disease in its initial stages.
