Histologically, there was a fibroplastic proliferation with osteoclast-like polynuclear giant cells, newly formed osteoid trabeculae, lymphocytic infiltrates, macrophages, and hemosiderin deposits (figure 2, A). Normal wound healing is characterized by 3 overlapping phases: inflammatory, proliferative or fibroplastic, and remodeling.
