The treatment of growth plate fractures ranges from conservative management to operative fixation and bone grafting. Outcome is varied and dependent upon site and grade of the fracture as well as the age of the patient. Regardless of Salter–Harris classification, an important component of management...
When you're in the ER with your child because they broke a bone, you may hear the doctor say they need to check if it's a "growth plate" fracture. It can sound a little scary, but most injuries like that heal easily. There can be complications, though, if it's not treated correc...
Bonefracturesin children heal quickly as compared to adults, but fractures of the growth plate may require several weeks to heal. The length of immobilization time (rest) varies depending on the severity of thefracture. In a worst-case scenario, if a child’s growth plate is disrupted, the ...
Finally it should be noted that focal degenerative alterations of a spontaneous nature may be seen in the growth plate in young laboratory animals. Young untreated beagle dogs and cynomolgus monkeys may show focal necrosis, fracture and degenerative changes at the femoral growth plate.24,27 Technical...

Previously, injury-induced, initial inflammatory response was shown to be an acute inflammatory event containing predominantly neutrophils. To...
Achieving normal growth is one of the most challenging problems in the management of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (GH) promotes longitudinal growth and likely enables children with CKD and sh

While uncommon, coracoid growth plate injury should be considered when assessing children with shoulder symptomatology.doi:10.1007/s00256-017-2736-0EF.AlaiaZS.RosenbergI.RossiJ.ZemberJB.RoedlL.PinkneyLS.SteinbachSkeletal RadiolSkeletal radiology
Growth plate cartilage is responsible for long bone growth in children and adolescents and is regulated by vitamin D metabolites in a cell zone-specific manner. Resting zone chondrocytes (RC cells) are regulated by 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 via a phospholipase D-dependent pathway, suggesting downst...
The 4 major complications were those usually reported with this technique: partial or asymmetric inefficacy causing angular deformity, fracture of the growth plate, growth plate injury, and joint injury. Thus, despite the enthusiasm of many authors reporting very low rates of complications if any ...
