“Another type of fracture common in children is a growth plate fracture, called an epiphyseal plate fracture.”

“Interposed between the epiphysis and the diaphysis is the cartilaginous epiphyseal plate.”

“The infection spreads and destroys the epiphyseal cortex, the intervertebral disc and the adjacent vertebrae.”

“The condition extends right up to the articular cartilage, or, in the case of adolescent bones, up to the epiphysial cartilage.”

“A bone scintigraph demonstrated a slight asymmetric increased signal in the epiphysial disc of the femur at the fight knee.”

“Sprains or strains are the most common type of injury, and epiphysial injuries of the hand are less common.”
