What could happen if the epiphyseal disc was injured?

It may seriously retard bone growth.


Injury to the epiphyseal disc?

The epiphyseal disc refers to the regions of growth located at the ends of long bones. If these areas are injured as the bone is growing, a child may be left with shortened limbs, joint pain, or misshapen limbs.

Injury to the epiphyseal disc causes?

Injury to the epiphyseal disc, also known as the growth plate, can lead to disruptions in bone growth and development. This can result in premature closure of the growth plate, causing limb length discrepancies or deformities. Additionally, such injuries may lead to conditions like osteonecrosis or growth disturbances, impacting the overall function and alignment of the affected bone. Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial to minimize long-term complications.


What is the slip disc?

Your spine is made up of a stack of discs, with a spacer between each, The whole arrangement is designed to allow for a lifetime of flexibility and growth. The muscles and tendons hold this complex arrangement in place. sometimes a disc will slip out of place & this causes many problems including pain. That is a slipped disc


Do arm exercises make your arms longer?

There has been some speculation about that. In general, the common wisdom says that you can't do anything to change your height or the length of any long bone, that it's all already programmed when you're born. But the reality is, we're all growing until the "growth disc" closes. The growth disc is the area of our bones, near the ends, where "long" bones actually grow longer. Once the growth disc "closes" or ceases to function, you have reached your maximum height. Growth discs close usually a little after we start puberty.


What is posterior disc osteophyte?

Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.


How do you fix cervical spine dessication?

It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue. I had a MRI diagnosis that said dorsal protrusion of C5-6 disc, effacing the ventral arachnoid space and indenting the cord + bilateral foraminal narrowing leading to compression of exiting root. This is probably a more medical description of dessication or maybe one of the case. But I was advised "surgery" wherein they will remove the herniated disc and replace it with a bone. This bone will be held in place with a titanium plate. The bone will fuse with vertebrae over a period of 1 month and form one bone mass. It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue.

Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?

No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.

An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.
