These are the four stages:

1) nonunion with no epiphyses

2) nonunion with separate epiphyses

3) partial union, and

4) complete union

. The results provide broader age ranges for the stages of union than previous studies. Age ranges for males and females are similar or vary by only 1-2 years. .

Another name for a growth plate is?

Epiphyseal plate


This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?

The layer you are referring to is the epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate. It is found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents, allowing the bone to lengthen as the cartilage cells multiply and are replaced by new bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the epiphyseal plate ossifies and becomes the epiphyseal line.


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.


Can the epiphyseal plate be seen in both the external and cutaway views of an adult long bone?

No, the epiphyseal plate is only visible in the cutaway view of a long bone in an adult. In the external view of an adult long bone, the epiphyseal plate has ossified and is no longer visible since it has become the epiphyseal line.


It is epiphysis line growth plate remnant?

to make this question a little clearer:"once the long bone has stopped growing, these areas are replaced with bone and appear as thin, barely discernible remnants- the epiphyseal lines"
