100 females between 10 to 21 were X-rayed and divided in 4 categories (Degree 0-Degree 3) depending on the status of fusion of long bones. 100 % female showed complete fusion at distal end of femur at the age group of 15-16, Proximal end of tibia at the age group of 16-17, ...
Long bone growth is the direct result of continual, rapid proliferation of cartilage at the epiphyseal plate, which subsequently mineralizes and is replaced by bone (Table 2). At sexual maturity, most mammals undergo hormonal changes that result in the cessation of growth and fusion of the ...
As shown by micro-CT imaging, Mgp+/56G>T mice at 1 week and 2 weeks of age had a comparable normal length of long bone (tibia) to the WT littermates (Fig. 2f). We measured the body weights of Mgp+/56G>T males and females and compared to that of their sex-matched control ...
After fusion between the accessory ossification centres of the osteochondroma and the regular cpiphysis, no further enlargcmcnt was obscrved. In three cases an enlarged medial femoral condyle was resected, in two cases the resection was done through bone, lcaving a non-cartilaginous surface in ...
A total of 18 anatomical locations were examined for epiphyseal union using a three-stage scheme: 1) no union; 2) partial union; and 3) completed union, all traces of fusion having disappeared. Results show that females are ahead of males by 1-2 years and provide similar age ranges for ...
