Once bone has formed within the epiphysis, it is more likely to be broken, but epiphyseal fractures are much less common than fractures of the diaphysis and metaphysis. When the epiphysis is nearly all bone, it
Strength profiles were visualized by three-dimensional computerized reconstruction as a function of location on the resection surfaces. There were large variations of the maximal values between individuals, but the patterns obtained were remarkably uniform. The medial condyle showed the highest peak value...
d) medullary cavity e) endosteum Long Bone: A bone is considered to be a long bone when it has a shaft and two ends. The bone will also be longer than the bone is wide. Long bones typically function to support weight and facilitate movement....
Developmental Bone Biology C. Epiphysis The term epiphysis refers to the entire developing end of the bone (320, 321). This region initially is formed completely in cartilage and subsequently subdivides during development into three histologically distinct regions: (1) the cartilage immediately adjacent...
Location Shaft or midsection of a long bone. Ends of a long bone. 14 Composition Mostly made up of compact bone. Composed mainly of spongy bone. 14 Function Provides strength and supports weight. Facilitates joint movement and muscle attachment. 8 Growth Does not contribute to bone lengthening ...
Despite otherwise normal renal function, PHP is characterized by renal resistance to PTH, which leads to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia and increased PTH concentrations. Since there is osseous sensitivity to PTH, bone resorption occurs [60]. In pediatric patients, long-lasting ailments provoke ...
of the previous hardware (in dark gray) as much as possible; (d) restoring the femur to its deformed state maintaining the plate in its position relative to the proximal femur reveals the initial position of the blade and the shape of the bone wedge that needs to be removed (in red). ...
