The left fibula has a large, irregular calcification from the posterior surface of the proximal diaphysis consistent with myositis ossificans.
A complete subadult left humerus diaphysis measures 180 mm in length.
In regard to the humerus, it is possible to speculate that the excessive cutting may be the result of "scoring" to facilitate breaking of the diaphysis.
The nutrient artery enters via the nutrient foramen from a small opening in the diaphysis.
The bone fragment is the diaphysis of the left femur of a one to two year-old cave bear, and is 113.6 mm long.
Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
In adults, x-rays may reveal bilateral femoral pseudofractures in the lateral subtrochanteric diaphysis.
The diaphysis is the midsection of the tibia also known as shaft or body.
