A complete subadult left humerus diaphysis measures 180 mm in length.
In diaphysis, primary ossification occurs.
These daughter cells stack facing the epiphysis while the older cells are pushed towards the diaphysis.
The nutrient artery enters via the nutrient foramen from a small opening in the diaphysis.
In adults, x-rays may reveal bilateral femoral pseudofractures in the lateral subtrochanteric diaphysis.
The center for the body appears near the middle of the diaphysis in the eighth week of fetal life, and soon extends toward the extremities.
The left fibula has a large, irregular calcification from the posterior surface of the proximal diaphysis consistent with myositis ossificans.
The diaphysis is the midsection of the tibia also known as shaft or body.
