  2. Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate

    The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).

  3. Epiphysiodesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphysiodesis

    Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis is also known as guided growth surgery or growth modulation surgery. Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis is reversible i.e. the metal implants used to achieve epiphysiodesis can be removed after the desired correction is achieved and the growth plate can thus resume its normal growth and function. In contrast, permanent ...

  4. Epiphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphysis

    However, these transverse notches lack the typical cell columns found in normal growth plates, and do not contribute significantly to longitudinal bone growth. [12] Pseudo-epiphyses are found at the distal end of the first metacarpal bone in 80% of the normal population, and at the proximal end of the second metacarpal in 60%.

  5. Osteochondritis dissecans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteochondritis_dissecans

    The prognosis is good for stable lesions (stage I and II) in juveniles with open growth plates; treated conservatively—typically without surgery—50% of cases will heal. [68] Recovery in juveniles can be attributed to the bone's ability to repair damaged or dead bone tissue and cartilage in a process called bone remodeling.

  6. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    Epiphyseal growth plate: This transverse layer lies between the epiphysis and diaphysis. It’s composed of highly active chondrocytes and responsible for longitudinal bone growth. Consequently, the bone elongates at this growth plate until closure occurs at skeletal maturity.

  7. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    After the desired level of growth is achieved, agar plates can be stored upside down in a refrigerator for an extended period of time to keep bacteria for future experiments. There are a variety of additives that can be added to agar before it is poured into a plate and allowed to solidify. Some types of bacteria can only grow in the presence ...

  8. Buffered charcoal yeast extract agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffered_charcoal_yeast...

    Buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar is a selective growth medium used to culture or grow certain types of bacteria, particularly the Gram-negative species Legionella pneumophila. [1] It has also been used for the laboratory diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis, [2] Francisella and Nocardia spp. It contains L-cysteine amino acid and ...

  9. Salter–Harris fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salter–Harris_fracture

    Most growth plate fractures heal without any lasting effects. [1] Rarely, bridging bone may form across the fracture, causing stunted growth and/or curving. [1] In such cases, the bridging bone may need to be surgically removed. [1] A growth plate fracture may also stimulate growth, causing a longer bone than the corresponding bone on the other ...
