While epiphyseal fusion of long bones has been studied for age estimation since a long time, over the past few years, the role of medial clavicular epiphyseal fusion in age estimation is being explored. The medial clavicular epiphyseal fusion can be used to estimate age in young adults, and ...
Epiphyseal plates are located in the epiphysis of long bones. The epiphysis is the short section of bone located at the rounded end of the long bone before the metaphysis and diaphysis. There are two types of bone growth; growth to elongate and growth to remodel. Elongation stems from cartil...
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 ...
(Pediatr Res 66: 654–659, 2009) Longitudinal growth occurs at the epiphyseal plate, a thin layer of cartilage entrapped between epiphyseal and metaphyseal bone, located at the distal ends of the long bones. The epiphyseal plate consists of three principal layers with immature cells lying toward...

Bones elongate and children grow tall through the activities of a millimeter thin layer of cells wedged between the epiphyseal head and the diaphyseal shaft of the long bones. The form, function, and regulation of the activities of cells in this thin, transient, cartilaginous plate have fascinat...

X-rays of all cases were studied and divided among 4 categories (Degree 0-Degree 3) depending on the status of fusion of long bones. 100% of males and females showed complete fusion at distal end of femur at the age group of 17–18 and 15–16, Proximal end of tibia at the age ...
