The growth plate may be divided anatomically into three components based on tissue content : a cartilaginous component ( epiphyseal plate ), a bony component ( metaphysis ) and a fibrous component surrounding the periphery of the plate.

While recurrence is the most common complication of chondroblastoma other issues include post-surgery infection, degenerative joint disease, pathological fractures, failure of bone grafts, pre-mature epiphyseal closure, functional impairment, and malignant transformation.

In younger athletes, whose epiphyseal plate ( growth plate ) is still open, the force on the inside of the elbow during throwing is more likely to cause the elbow to fail at this point than at the ulnar collateral ligament.

This condition is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, mild brachydactyly, kyphoscoliosis, abnormal gait, enlarged knee joints, precocious osteoarthropathy, platyspondyly, delayed epiphyseal ossification, mild metaphyseal abnormalities, short stature and short and bowed legs.

The article about OCD might be improved by some careful rewording re this important distinction, or at least not linking to Epiphyseal plate in the manner that it does now .-- talk ) 06 : 22, 9 March 2009 ( UTC)

Radiographic features include delayed epiphyseal ossification at the hips and knees, platyspondyly with irregular end plates and narrowed joint spaces, diffuse early osteoarthritic changes ( in the spine and hands ), mild brachydactyly and mild metaphyseal abnormalities which predominantly involve the hips and knees.
47.
In adults, this is small and doesn't have much importance, but in children whose epiphyseal line is still made of cartilage ( which doesn't allow blood supply through it ), it helps to supply the head and neck of the femur on its own.

Now I find bruises on my shins and I have no idea how it happened . ( It is possible that the biology of bone growth had something to do with this, but still, the middle of the shin is far from the epiphyseal plate ) talk ) 14 : 34, 17 January 2017 ( UTC)
