Growth plate fractures may extend into the metaphysis and/or epiphysis; the different types are classified by the Salter-Harris system. Risk of impaired growth increases as fractures progress from type I through type V. In English, a useful mnemonic for the types is SALTR:

2024年9月27日 · Radial head and neck fractures in children are relatively common traumatic injuries that usually affect the radial neck (metaphysis) in children 9-10 years of age. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs of the elbow. Treatment can be nonoperative or operative depending on the degree of angulation, translation and displacement.

2024年3月7日 · Proximal Tibia Metaphyseal Fractures are fractures of the proximal tibia usually seen in children from 3 to 6 years of age. This fracture is significant for its tendency to develop a late valgus deformity, known as a Cozen's phenomenon, that must be monitored closely. Diagnosis can be confirmed with plain radiographs.

2024年10月11日 · Distal Femoral Physeal Fractures are common fractures in the pediatric population that result from direct trauma in children with open physes. Diagnosis is confirmed with plain radiographs of the femur and knee. Treatment is usually operative with closed reduction and percutaneous fixation followed by casting.

2024年10月1日 · Due to the incomplete ossification and unique anatomical features of children's bones, physeal injuries can result from various mechanisms, including falls, sports activities, or direct trauma. The Salter-Harris classification system is essential for categorizing these injuries, as it helps predict potential complications such as growth arrest.

2013年1月19日 · The most active site of formation of bone in children is the metaphysis. Systemic and local diseases are reflected by alterations in the morphology of this region. In this pictorial essay, we examine several patterns of metaphyseal abnormalities seen on radiologic images and review the associated pathophysiology.

2024年5月10日 · metaphysis at the opposite end of the fracture (Fig. 5-17). The epiphyseal fragment thus comprises all of the epiphysis and some portion of the peripheral metaphysis (the Thurston-Holland fragment or sign). The physeal portion of this fracture has microscopic characteristics similar to those of type I injuries, but the fracture

The most active site of formation of bone in children is the metaphysis. Systemic and local diseases are reflected by alterations in the morphology of this region.

2024年10月27日 · Forty percent of pediatric patients with acute leukemia demonstrate radiographic findings. Diffuse osteoporosis can be present or classic radiolucent “leukemic lines,” which occur in the metaphysis of long bones adjacent to the zone of provisional calcification (ZPC), which often remains intact.

2024年3月16日 · The paediatric metaphysis is afflicted by a wide range of pathological processes as it is the most metabolically active and well-vascularised part of the developing skeleton. This review focuses on metaphyseal marrow signal change detected with magnetic resonance imaging, which is most often occult on radiographs.
