The nutrient arteries near the epiphyseal cartilage are nonanastomosing, thereby allowing any blockage to produce tissue necrosis and the sinusoids (venous side of capillary) have slow, turbulent flow predisposing to thrombosis.

What is the difference between a thrombus an embolus and a thromboembolism?

A thrombus is a blood clot that forms in a blood vessel, obstructing blood flow at its site of formation. An embolus is a fragment of a thrombus or other material that travels through the bloodstream and can lodge in a blood vessel, causing a blockage elsewhere. Thromboembolism refers to the condition where a thrombus forms and then an embolus breaks off from it, leading to a blockage in a distant vessel, which can result in serious complications like stroke or pulmonary embolism.
