Choose a musculoskeletal or nerve trauma that you are familiar with by personal experience, or choose one from the text book. Explain the nature of the injury, including anatomy, structural make-up, and mechanism of injury (MOI). Then describe what phase of healing this injury could be in and describe what is happening during this phase of healing. I would discuss how macrophages are coming into the area and fibroblast (fiber building cells) are coming into the area to try to formulate regeneration etc.

Note: all these injuries can be found in each phase of healing: I would like for you to concentrate on one phase during this forum discussion!
