Sentences with word «epiphyseal»

Accelerated rates of bone growth and bone remodeling act in concert to produce a pattern of epiphyseal spongiosa that is composed of fine trabecular systems that are spaced relatively far apart and that are ultimately less strong per unit area than in small breeds of dogs.

Other useful diagnostic aids include comparison of height with that of littermates, evidence of delayed epiphyseal closure or dysgenesis on skeletal radiographs, and skin biopsy.

The two main concerns that arise with strength training are based on case reports of epiphyseal plate fractures (growth plate injuries) and soft tissue injuries, specifically back injuries.

Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia: a condition where many of the long bones develop abnormally due to changes in the growth plates.

Epiphyseal fractures usually occur at the end of the long bones (femur, humerus) in puppies and young dogs.

The five most common indications for a FHO included degenerative joint disease, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, capital epiphyseal and femoral neck fracture, comminuted acetabular or pelvic fracture, and non-reducible or chronic coxofemoral luxation.

Excessive biomechanical loading of the inadequately supported epiphyseal articular cartilage leads to secondary disturbances in the nutrition, metabolism, function and viability of the chondrocytes in the developing joint surface.

Because antirachitic bioassays were used to establish «rat units» for vitamin D (ie, the amount of vitamin D required for recalcification of the epiphyseal end of tibiae in rats), early workers found it extremely difficult to distinguish between the specific biological value of the 2 forms.

At puberty, oestrogen promotes skeletal maturation and the gradual, progressive closure of the epiphyseal growth plate, possibly as a consequence of both oestrogen - induced vascular and osteoplastic invasion and the termination of chondrogenesis.

The growth plate becomes a stable, inactive, part of the bone, now known as an epiphyseal line.

A little bit more unusual is to have viral penetration of the joint capsule with resultant damage to articular cartilage, or the epiphyseal surfaces of the femur.

Epiphyseal (e-pif-uh-see-uhl) fractures occur at the site of a growth plate.

The epiphyseal spongiosa of rapidly growing dogs of the larger breeds is inherently less dense and less strong per unit area than epiphyseal spongiosa of dogs from the smaller breeds.

Radiographic signs of epiphyseal dysgenesis (underdeveloped epiphyses throughout the long bones), shortened vertebral bodies, and delayed epiphyseal closure are common.
