More severe injuries damage and destroy more tissue , requiring greater replacement with scar tissue
Tissues that heal by scar tissue typically include dense connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and ligaments. In these tissues, the inflammatory response triggers the formation of scar tissue to repair the damage. However, the formation of scar tissue can lead to reduced functional capacity compared to the original tissue.
Scar tissue differs from normal body tissues in that it lacks hair follicles and melanocytes which produce pigment.

Post surgical scar tissue in general is called adhesions. This is the scar formation below the surface of the skin. As with elbow surgery or carpal tunnel surgery the tissue heals back in kind of a spider web formation. Sometimes this formation attaches to surrounding structures like nerves, which can cause problems and symptoms down the road.
Wound healing is a biological process that begins with trauma and ends with scar formation. There are two types of tissue injury: full and partial thickness.
A cicatrix is a scar left by the formation of new connective tissue over a healing sore or wound.
Excessive formation of scar tissue.
pulmonary fibrosis
Reduction in the formation of excessive scar tissue following soft tissue injuries; enhancement in the health and nourishment of skin.
