pubmed:abstractText |
Sixteen patients undergoing compression treatment for scar hypertrophy were included in a study to evaluate physical indices of scar maturity. The results show that while thermographic measurements of scar temperature were not clinically valuable, rising levels of transcutaneous oxygen tension in treated scars correlated well with a reduction in scar thickness assessed both clinically and by ultrasound. It is postulated that low levels of tcpO2 in immature scars result from low oxygen diffusibility through scar tissue rather than from rapid metabolic consumption of oxygen by scar tissue.
