Voorbeelden van epiphysis

• In paralysed limbs the growth from the epiphyses is usually little short of the normal. 

• In the acute arthritis of infants, the epiphysis concerned may be separated and displaced. 

• In the upper limb the more active epiphyses are at the shoulder and wrist, and these also are the last to unite. 

• Separation of an epiphysis nearly always results in infection and destruction of the adjacent joint. 

• The epiphyses are nourished by a separate system of blood vessels, derived from the arteries which supply the adjacent joint. 

• Located a little above the distal epiphysis, where the shaft, through the reduction of the muscular ridges and crests, becomes nearly cylindrical.

• The between-sets correlations were low, the highest correlation being 0n20-0n25 between width at epiphysis and the four osteochondrosis variables.

• A left unfused distal femoral epiphysis is also preserved.

• The use of warfarin, particularly between the 6th and 12th weeks of pregnancy, is associated with an embryopathy, "warfarin embryopathy," characterised by nasal hypoplasia and/or stippled epiphyses.

• The epiphyseal arteries and osteogenic cells invade the epiphysis, depositing osteoblasts and osteoclasts which erode the cartilage and build bone.

• Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).

• This fracture is unique because it occurs during a certain period of adolescence, when there is a differential rate of growth of the epiphysis.

• Here a cut into the bone will find the abnormal epiphysis.

• Covey was athletic as a youth but contracted slipped capital femoral epiphysis in junior high school, requiring him to change his focus to academics.

• Lesions are symmetrical, most common in the elbows, tibia, and fibula, and characteristically cause separation of an epiphysis and marked periosteal reactions.

• They usually originate from the epiphysis of long bones but in rare cases they may arise from anterior arc of the ribs.

• Cartilage is progressively eroded and replaced by hardened bone, extending towards the epiphysis.

• The proximal head and the epiphysis are supplied by a branch of the anterior tibial artery.

• Muscle or ligament injuries can be contracted during heavy physical activity however, it is important not to miss a slipped upper femoral epiphysis.

• At age 13 he suffered a slipped upper femoral epiphysis of the hip, which resulted in his spending nearly 20 months in hospital.
