epiphysis

The epiphysis is not completely closed, so he was between 17 and 19 years old.

Here a cut into the bone will find the abnormal epiphysis.

It is caused by a slipped epiphysis of the femoral head.

Perhaps it is as well to remind the reader here of the nature of the epiphysis.

This usually involves only the lower extremities and on medial side of the epiphysis.

It is the displacement of the upper femoral epiphysis.

Slippage occurs through the growth plate (epiphysis between the head and neck of the bone).

Unlike Pressure Epiphysis, these regions do not assist in weight transmission.

The fracture is below the physis in the epiphysis.

The upper epiphysis joins the body about the sixteenth, the lower about the twentieth year.

Stress on the hip causes the epiphysis to move posteriorly and medially.

The secondary centres generally appear at the epiphysis.

At the conclusion of puberty, the ends of the long bones close during the process called epiphysis.

That's a fracture, just above the epiphysis."

Other important causes are infectious arthritis, osteomyelitis, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis in children.

Rapid growth and an imbalance of hormones during adolescence may cause a slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

The disorder may involve one epiphysis (localized) or multiple epiphyses.

About the time of birth, a secondary ossification center appears in each end (epiphysis) of long bones.

The long bones are those that grow primarily by elongation at an epiphysis at one end of the growing bone.

"The epiphysis at the sternal end of the clavicle, which doesn't unite until the late twenties, has not united yet."

The proximal head and the epiphysis are supplied by a branch of the anterior tibial artery.

Cartilage is progressively eroded and replaced by hardened bone, extending towards the epiphysis.

The epiphysis is filled with red bone marrow, which produces erythrocytes (red blood cells).

There are four types of epiphysis:

The epiphysis appears and olfactory placodes are visible.
