Best Answer

apophysitis is one form of several apophyseal injuries,

which can occur in skeletally immature patients between the

ages of 12 and 18. An "apophysis" is the anatomic term used to

describe a cartilage growth area on a bone where there is a muscle attachment to the bone.

Apophysitis is the term used to describe an acute or chronic traction injury at the tendon

insertion site.
