Are there growth plates in the hip?
Yes, there are growth plates in the hip, specifically in the areas around the femoral head and the acetabulum. These growth plates, known as epiphyseal plates, are crucial for the development and growth of the hip joint during childhood and adolescence. They gradually close as a person matures, typically completing this process by the late teens to early twenties. The health and proper development of these growth plates are important for overall hip function and alignment.
How do shoulder growth plates affect the development of the shoulder joint in adolescents?
Shoulder growth plates are areas of cartilage at the ends of bones in the shoulder that allow for bone growth. During adolescence, these growth plates are still developing and can affect the overall growth and development of the shoulder joint. If there is an injury or damage to the growth plates, it can impact the proper formation of the shoulder joint and potentially lead to issues with shoulder function and mobility in the future.
What happens when children have thick epiphyseal plates?
The epiphyseal plates are also known as the growth plates. When these are thick, especially due to injury, they can eventually cause a deformity in the child's growth and development.
When you stop growing what happens to your growth plates?
When you stop growing, typically in late adolescence or early adulthood, your growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates, harden and close. This process, called epiphyseal closure, occurs as cartilage in the growth plates is gradually replaced by bone. Once the growth plates close, they no longer contribute to increases in height, and an individual reaches their final adult stature.
