Damaged cartilage can float freely around in the bursa without causing problems. It can also get trapped in the joint, causing the joint to lock up. Arthroscopic surgery is the least invasive way to remove damaged cartilage.

What is epiphyseal plates composed of?
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
Epiphyseal plate
How is bone marrow articular cartilage the epiphyseal line and epiphyseal plate related?
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.
What is the epiphyseal plates composed of?
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
What marginal zone of the epiphyseal plate where in children and adolescents bone can be seen replacing the hyaline cartilage?
the epiphyseal line
What region of the developing bone contains the epiphyseal cartilage?
Metaphysis
What happens to bone growth if the epiphyseal plate is damaged?
Bone growth would be stunted due to the damage done to the epiphyseal plate. The degree of which growth would be affected depends on the severity of the injury.
What is composed of cartilage cells within an extensive and relatively rigid matrix?
epiphyseal plate
How is the epiphysis forced farther from the shaft during the growth of a long bone?
The chondrocytes of the epiphyseal cartilage enlarge and divide, which increases the thickness of the cartilage. On the shaft side, the chondrocytes become ossified, and "chase" the expanding epiphyseal cartilage away from the shaft.
Compare and contrast events occurring on the epiphyseal and diaphyseal faces?
The cartilage cells at the epiphyseal side are continuing to grow and divide mitotically, while the ones on the diaphyseal side are aging, dying and then osteoblasts move in to form bone. See this site for more detail and nice diagrams: http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_a… -JSO
What is Composed of hyaline cartilage until the end of adolescence?
Epiphyseal Plate.
