metaphysis

This area is often followed by a dark line at the metaphysis, which may progress to new bone growth on the outside of that area.

Usually occurs at the metaphysis of long bones.

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

The fracture is through the metaphysis, physis, and epiphysis.

At roughly 18 to 25 years of age, the metaphysis stops growing altogether and completely ossifies into solid bone.

This is generally due to the swelling of the metaphysis of the long bones that is observed.

Osteoblastoma of the long tubular bones is often diaphyseal, and fewer are located in the metaphysis.

Because of their rich blood supply, metaphysis of long bones are prone to hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis in children.

The fracture lines extend transversely through the distal end [metaphysis] above the condyles.

This area represents microfractures in the metaphysis and bone proliferation to bridge the defect in the periosteum.

Type II - A fracture through the growth plate and the metaphysis, sparing the epiphysis: 75% incidence, takes approximately 2-3 weeks to heal.

They originate from the growth plate, and are located in adjacent parts of the metaphysis and diaphysis of long bones, most often of the legs.

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

The simple bone cyst is a common, benign, fluid-containing lesion, most commonly found in the metaphysis of long bones, typically the proximal humerus or femur.

KFGR, keratinocyte growth factor receptor, is an isoform active in the metaphysis and interphalangeal joints.

FGFR2-Bek is active in the metaphysis, as well as the diaphysis, but also in the interdigital mesenchyme.

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

It is characterized by the growth of cartilage-capped benign bone tumours around areas of active bone growth, particularly the metaphysis of the long bones.

The femoral epiphysis remains in the acetabulum (hip socket), while the metaphysis (end of the femur) move in an anterior direction with external rotation.

The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.

Hypertrophic osteodystrophy is also seen in young large and giant breed dogs and is characterized by pain, lameness, fever, and swelling of the long bone metaphysis.

Another radiographic sign of elevated lead levels is the presence of radiodense lines called lead lines at the metaphysis in the long bones of growing children, especially around the knees.

In children, the SAPHO syndrome is most likely to affect the metaphysis of long bones in the legs (tibia, femur, fibula), followed by clavicles and spine.

Specifically, as the term pertains to musculoskeletal medicine and orthopedics, "physis" refers to the region of a long bone between the epiphysis and the metaphysis, or in lay terminology, the "growth plate".

A corner fracture or bucket-handle fracture is fragmentation of the distal end of one or both femurs, with the loose piece appearing at the bone margins as an osseous density paralleling the metaphysis.
