  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sever's_disease

    Sever's disease, also known as calcaneus apophysitis, is an inflammation at the back of the heel (or calcaneus) growth plate in growing children. The condition is thought to be caused by repetitive stress at the heel. This condition is benign and common and usually resolves when the growth plate has closed or during periods of less activity.

  4. 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).

  5. Ankle fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle_fracture

    Surgically fixated bimalleolar ankle fracture. The broad goals of treating ankle fractures are restoring the ankle joint to normal alignment, healing the fracture, and preventing arthritis. [9] The stability of the ankle joint often dictates treatment. Certain fracture patterns are stable and are thus treated without surgery similarly to ankle ...

    Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED), also known as Fairbank's disease, is a rare genetic disorder (dominant form: 1 in 10,000 births) that affects the growing ends of bones.

  7. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiberg_disease

    Trauma: Acute injuries to the metatarsal, such as fractures or severe sprains, may trigger the onset of Freiberg disease in some cases. Systemic conditions: Certain systemic disorders that affect bone metabolism or vascular health, such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, may potentially increase the risk of developing Freiberg disease.
