Examples of Using EPIPHYSEAL in a Sentence

• Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
• The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate.
• Short-limb short stature in which there is limb shortening as achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia, pseudoachondroplasia and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
• Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint connected by hyaline cartilage, as seen in the epiphyseal plate.
• Achondroplasia: Reduced proliferation of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate of long bones during infancy and childhood, resulting in dwarfism.
• The hypoglossal canal lies in the epiphyseal junction between the basiocciput and the jugular process of the occipital bone.
• Morphometric and EM Analyses of Tibial Epiphyseal Plates: The objective of this experiment was to measure the growth plate of the tibia as an index of its longitudinal growth, and to study the ultrastructure and chemical composition of the growth plate.
• The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.
• Contrary to long bones, the carpals and tarsals typically lack epiphyseal growth plates, hence lacking longitudinal growth and they undergo ossification radially, similar to secondary ossification centers in long bones.
• 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.
• Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia was described separately by Seved Ribbing and Harold Arthur Thomas Fairbank in the 1930s.
• Both Indian Hedgehog/parathyroid hormone-related protein (IHh/PtHrP) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathways, important for development of the epiphyseal growth plate, are active in chondroblastoma leading to greater proliferation among the cells in the proliferating/pre-hypertrophic zone (cellular-rich area) versus the hypertrophic/calcifying zone (matrix-rich area).
• it is today considered an acquired disease of the proximal tibial metaphysis rather than an epiphyseal dysplasia or osteochondrosis.
• The pitching motion causes a valgus stress to be placed on the inside of the elbow joint which can cause damage to the structures of the elbow, resulting in an avulsion (separation) of the medial epiphyseal plate (growth plate).
• Atelosteogenesis type II (AO-II) can be lethal in the neonatal period, whereas diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) and autosomal recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (EDM4/rMED) are considered to be the least severe forms.
• Mutations can cause the osteochondrodysplasias pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED).
• Matrilin-3 mutations are linked to skeletal diseases like osteoarthritis, and chondrodysplasias like multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia.
• Wolcott–Rallison syndrome, WRS, is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with infancy-onset diabetes mellitus, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, osteopenia, mental retardation or developmental delay, and hepatic and renal dysfunction as main clinical findings.
• 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.
• The Hand Center performed one of the world's first cross-hand replantations, first reported repair of the digital arteries, first bilateral upper arm replantation, first bilateral forearm replantation, first reported successful technique for primary flexor tendon repair, and first vascularized epiphyseal transfer.
• The paratypes include a proximal fragment of a right humerus, a distal fragment of a right humerus with a prominent fragmented epicondyle, a left ulna lacking the epiphyseal plate, an almost complete right ulna lacking the olecranon and a complete left carpometacarpus.
• Some signs and symptoms that are frequently exhibited in patients with SJS include epiphyseal abnormalities, metaphyseal abnormalities, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, bowing of long bones, a protruding lower lip, full cheeks, a disturbed gait, genu valgum, hip dysplasia, hypertonia, intellectual disability, joint stiffness, low-set posteriorly-rotated ears, metatarsus valgus, micromelia, myotonia, narrow mouth, flat foot, pursed lips, short stature, skeletal dysplasia, trismus, and visual impairment.
• The triradiate cartilage (in Latin cartilago ypsiloformis) is the Y-shaped epiphyseal plate between the ilium, ischium and pubis to form the acetabulum of the os coxae.
• This deformity is caused by a widening of the epiphyseal plate of the fifth finger's distal phalange.
