Because the shaft receives its blood supply from an artery which pierces the shaft and then divides to supply both ends of the bone up to the epiphyseal plate, while the epiphsis is nourished by arteries that supply the joint capsule - these two blood supplies normally don't anastamose until fusion between epiphysis and shaft occurs
