Which of the following is NOT a phase of soft-tissue wound healing?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Callus formation
- A. Correct. Callus formation is a stage of BONE (fracture) healing, not soft-tissue wound healing.
- B. Inflammation (with initial hemostasis) is the first soft-tissue healing phase.
- C. Proliferation (granulation tissue, re-epithelialization) is a healing phase.
- D. Maturation/remodeling is the final soft-tissue healing phase.
Note: Both 'callus' and 'hematoma' belong to bone-fracture healing; among the source's options, callus is the clearest non-soft-tissue phase.
