Examples of Using DIAPHYSIS in a Sentence

• The femur is categorised as a long bone and comprises a diaphysis, the shaft (or body) and two epiphyses, the lower extremity and the upper extremity of femur, that articulate with adjacent bones in the hip and knee.
• Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
• They grow primarily by elongation of the diaphysis, with an epiphysis at each end of the growing bone.
• Located in the main shaft of a long bone (diaphysis) (consisting mostly of compact bone), the medullary cavity has walls composed of spongy bone (cancellous bone) and is lined with a thin, vascular membrane (endosteum).
• The metaphysis (: metaphyses) is the neck portion of a long bone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis.
• At the end of the formation of the secondary ossification center, the only two areas where the cartilage remains is at the articular cartilage covering the epiphysis and at the epiphyseal plate between the epiphysis and diaphysis.
• This is caused by cartilage rests that grow and reside within the metaphysis or diaphysis and eventually mineralize over time to form multiple enchondromas.
• On the Tibiotarsus, the top of the Condylus Internus (lump) is pronounced and bent on the proximal side, so that a sharper angle is formed with the diaphysis.
• The genus also has a quadrate bone with the main diaphysis deviated laterally, as well as a pronounced, ventromedially directed process of the suprastapedial.

• Main feature of this type of fracture is a transverse subcondylar fracture with dissociation of the metaphysis from the diaphysis.
• An active cyst is adjacent to the epiphyseal plate and tends to grow until it fills the entire diaphysis, the shaft, of the bone; depending on the invasiveness of the cyst, it can cause a pathological fracture or even destroy the epiphyseal plate leading to the permanent shortening of the bone.
• Banki in a 1965 paper, it has been noted as being similar to Liebenberg syndrome, featuring lunatotriquetral fusion of the lunate bone with the triquetral bone, clinodactyly of the fingers, overall short metacarpals, and thin diaphysis of the longer bones, but unlike Liebenberg, no elbow dysplasia is observed.
