Increased granulation tissue production occurs with prolonged immobilization following contusion injury; this condition may lead to myositis ossificans. Prolonged immobilization can lead to contraction of scar, poor structural organization of the regenerating muscle, and, ultimately, scar tissue. In a study by Jࢾrvinen and associates, muscles immobilized following contusion injury were pulled to failure at tensile strengths much lower than tolerated by mobilized limbs. In addition, there is a decrease in tensile stiffness.
