An Updated Review of Hypertrophic Scarring.

Abstract in brief

• The article explains hypertrophic scarring (HTS) as an abnormal wound healing process characterized by excessive tissue and extracellular matrix buildup at injury sites.
• It reviews the normal stages of wound healing—hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling—and explores how disruptions in these phases can lead to HTS.
• The article also covers animal models used to study HTS, their limitations, and discusses current and emerging treatments for managing hypertrophic scars.]
