Hypertrophic Scar Formation Model Applied to Blunt- -prosthesis Interface: Forming by Accretion

The interface blunt-prosthesis is the subject of stress and friction due to forces that act in the walking stage. The dermal wounds that can appear due to this stress and frictions can heal due to normal process of regenerative of dermal layers. In some cases, the normal process of wound healing can fail and some abnormal forms can develop: keloid and hypertrophic scars. These abnormal forms can be seen as mainly due to fibro-proliferative disorder in terms of excessive development of fibroblastic cells. In this paper we investigated the possibility to use the mathematical model for fibro-proliferative interactions to forming of scars by accretion at the interface blunt-prosthesis. The work can be used to predict the risk area of patient’s stump and subsequent the use of physio kinetotherapy program to prevent this. The investigation is a theoretically one and it must be validated by medical measurements.
