What is endplate edema?
Edema is swelling of an extremity or area of the body. A degenerative end plate may be an area that shows up on an x-ray showing breakdown of bone. A physician will need to evaluate and treat.
What is the growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
What is the structure of a long bone?
The long bone consists of the epiphysis and diaphysis. The epiphysis is the end part of the long bone and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. In the shaft of the long bone, there is yellow bone marrow which stores fat in adults and produces white blood cells. In the end parts of the long bone is red bone marrow which makes red blood cells. On one end of the long bone, where there is the joint, it is covered with smooth cartilage. Surrounding the outer surface of the bone is a tough membrane called periosteum. Just beneath the membrane and above the bone tissue is compact bone tissue.

The appearance of this structure signals the end of bone growth?
The appearance of the growth plate closure, also known as the epiphyseal line, signals the end of bone growth in long bones. This happens when the cartilage in the growth plate is replaced by bone, indicating that growth has ceased in that particular bone.
