Fig 6. Predicted volume reduction of the operated tissue region during wound recovery.

Fig 6

Numerical results of the normalised volume reduction of the operated (excised) tissue region during wound healing of all four patient-specific models. Note the initial slow volume contraction due to inflammation, followed by a pronounced contraction during the proliferative stage (day-8 to day-16) and final convergence to a smooth plateau in the remodelling phase (day-24 and onwards) of healing.
