Brief [3] originally described a physeal sparing ... in both the distal femur and proximal tibia. None were found to have angular deformity or injury to the growth plate. Shelbourne and colleagues ...

Although epiphyseal fractures are common in adolescents, fractures of the distal femoral epiphyseal plate are rare. Case presentation ... We ensured the 2.2-mm K-wires crossed proximal to the fracture ...

The patient's plain radiographs showed no coxa vara or shepherd's crook deformities but revealed an increased sagittal radius of curvature and retrotorsion of the proximal femur (Figure 1b). The ...

Scientists analyzing seismic data from southern Tibet discovered that the Indian tectonic plate is fragmenting as it subducts beneath the Eurasian plate, reshaping our understanding of the forces ...

The Earth's hard outer layer (where we live) is called the crust. It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet.

Physeal stapling has proven success, but hardware prominence or failure has been problematic. Recently, the tension band plate construct ("8-plate") has been promoted for hemiepiphysiodesis ...

Continental plates are usually quite thick (between 35 to 70 km) compared to the much thinner oceanic plates (between 5 and 10 km). The oceanic rocks are usually made from basalt, while ...

Recently, I purchased a set of plates that looked like they were from the '70s, and I use them nearly every night. One evening while admiring the design, I began to wonder what year, exactly ...
