Growth Plate Injuries (1579 words) |
 | The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. |
 | Approximately half of all growth plate injuries occur in the lower end of the outer bone of the forearm (radius) at the wrist. |
 | Although many growth plate injuries are caused by accidents that occur during play or athletic activity, growth plates are also susceptible to other disorders, such as bone infection, that can alter their normal growth and development. |
