In adults, X-rays may reveal bilateral femoral pseudofractures in the lateral diaphysis.
2.
In long bones, bone tissue first appears in the diaphysis ( middle of shaft ).
3.
Periosteal new bone may cover the diaphysis of the bone, causing an increase in diameter of the bone.
4.
Supplementation of buttress screws or a buttress plate is used if the fracture extends to the proximal metaphysis or distal diaphysis.
5.
The diaphysis and both epiphyses of a long bone are separated by a growing zone of cartilage ( the epiphyseal plate ).
6.
The femur is categorised as a long bone and comprises a diaphysis, epiphysis or extremities that articulate with adjacent bones in the hip and knee.
7.
In long bones the primary centers occur in the diaphysis / shaft and in irregular bones the primary centers occur usually in the body of the bone.
8.
The femur is categorised as a long bone and comprises a diaphysis ( shaft or epiphyses ( extremities ) that articulate with adjacent bones in the hip and knee.
9.
At skeletal maturity ( 18 to 25 years of age ), all of the cartilage is replaced by bone, fusing the diaphysis and both epiphyses together ( epiphyseal closure ).
10.
Begun ( 1992 ) attributes the straight diaphysis and large size to " habitually suspended hindlimb postures " ( p . 333 ) while a high neck-shaft angle may indicate habitually abducted hip postures.
