Differentiating Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids: Evidence-Based Guide
This video offers an overview of hypertrophic scars and keloids, focusing on distinguishing features such as growth beyond wound borders. It emphasizes current evidence supporting separate treatments until further research clarifies their differences.
Differentiating Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids in Clinical Practice
Hypertrophic scars stay within the wound boundaries, while keloids extend beyond. Differentiation primarily involves assessing scar spread; other features like collagen types are less definitive. Both conditions share similar tissue abnormalities but are considered separate entities.

Abstract Synopsis
- Keloids are characterized by their growth extending beyond the original wound borders, unlike hypertrophic scars which stay within the wound area.
- The main way to differentiate keloids from hypertrophic scars is by the horizontal spread of the scar tissue, while other diagnostic features like collagen type are less clear and can overlap.
- Current evidence suggests that hypertrophic scars and keloids are mostly similar in their tissue abnormalities but are likely distinct conditions, so they should continue to be treated as separate entities until new research reveals more fundamental differences.
