epiphyseal plate , także: physis , także: growth plate
cartilago epiphysialis latin

The severity of gigantism depends on whether the epiphyseal plate is open.

Defects in the development and continued division of epiphyseal plates can lead to growth disorders.

He observed bones grew at the ends and thus demonstrated the existence of the epiphyseal plates.

Limited information also suggests isotretinoin may stop normal growth in some children (epiphyseal plate closure).

The metaphysis is the wider portion of a long bone adjacent to the epiphyseal plate.

Examination of the bone reveals normal epiphyseal plates but disorganized metaphyseal regions.

Vertical growth stops when the long bones stop lengthening, which occurs with the closure of epiphyseal plates.

A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment.

Salter-Harris fractures can occur on epiphyseal plates.

The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate.

Synchondroses are cartilaginous joint connected by hyaline cartilage, as seen in the epiphyseal plate.

Also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, this developing tissue determines how long and wide the bone will be when fully grown.

Pot-bellied pigs are considered fully-grown by six years of age, when the epiphyseal plates in the long bones of the legs finally close.

Epiphyseal plate

Formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate

Children who have not finished fusing their proximal radial epiphyseal plate may suffer dislocations of this joint.

The diaphysis and both epiphyses of a long bone are separated by a growing zone of cartilage (the epiphyseal plate).

A Salter-Harris fracture is a fracture that involves the epiphyseal plate or growth plate of a bone.

This is a Salter I or II fracture with the deforming forces directed through the weaker epiphyseal plate.

Epiphyseal plates ("growth plates") are located in the metaphysis and are responsible for growth in the length of the bone.

Achondroplasia: Reduced proliferation of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate of long bones during infancy and childhood, resulting in dwarfism.

Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).

In puberty increasing levels of estrogen, in both females and males, leads to increased apoptosis of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate.

He created a manipulative treatment for club feet, a process that involved stretching or breaking the tendons, ligaments, and epiphyseal plates until the foot was properly aligned.

Following the onset of puberty, the epiphyseal plate begins to close due to an increased amount of estrogen production escaping local metabolism and spreading to the circulatory system.
