Epiphysis

correlate with the dental features of a 4 to 6-year-old child as Ubelaker points out (Ubelaker 1989). The observable M1 molar on the left and right of the mandible was determined to coincide with this age range. Dental formation of the M2 mandibular molar crowns provided a correlation of this age range. With 80% accuracy I would determine this to be a child of 4 to 6 years old at the time of death. There is a note however, in Ubelakers charts (Buikstra and Ubelaker 1994), that provide a plus or minus of the ascribed age of the dentition as 16 months +/-. So to account for this variation it has been added to the original age estimate. The joined inventory sheets provide the measurements of the long bones and ilium, state of union of the epiphysis to the diaphysis and the dental…

1. I diagnose the patient as having slipped capital femoral epiphysis. I believe her condition is stable, but will worsening if not treated. She claims that the pains come and go, especially after engaging in physical activity, but two weeks after going to the doctor, she is unable to lift herself out of the pool. She needs assistance from her father. Her lower leg is also laterally rotated. She is a 10 year- old girl who is very active, but still obese for her age, weighing 135 lbs. “Slipped…

Walking down the long and dreaded hospital hallway around four in the morning, hearing my own slippers scuff across the floor as I limped, I tried remaining as calm as possible since I had already had plenty of time to think. We just entered the room that I would be staying in. My emotions weighed each other out so I didn’t know how to react anymore. Should I be happy that things will be better for me after, or scared that something could go wrong and having to recover from such a traumatic…

Yale New Haven Hospital's medical unit diagnosed me with S.C.F.E.: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis. This injury, usually in the event of a fall, causes the head of the hip to slip backwards at the point of connection between the bone and growth plate. The doctor told me that I was very lucky; Most cases are to be diagnosed within 24 to 48 hours, and extended use of the leg outside of this time frame could result in lost flexibility of the joint, in addition to premature osteoarthritis. Based…

Osteoclast don’t care that the spongy bone is new; they break it down. As a result, the medullary cavity is formed, it serves as a yellow marrow storage facility. The epiphysis continues to elongate and is composed of hyaline cartilage and its chondroblasts that continue dividing. The bone formation occurs where cartilage is calcified and deteriorates. When a baby is born the diaphysis of most of his or her bones are osteogenic tissue, however, the epiphysis remains as hyaline cartilage. It is…

LABORATORY DATA: Anteriorposterior film shows medial displacement of the left epiphysis. Frog-leg lateral radiograph demonstrates posterior displacement. The percentage of the femoral neck exposed is 45%. Right knee x-ray is normal. PROBLEM LIST/ ASSESMENT: 1. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) as suggested by knee pain, limp, and inability to bear weight seen in the HPI as well as decreased range of motion and pain upon rotation of the right hip seen during the physical exam. X-Ray…

Discussion The basic types of tissue represented in the chicken lab dissection were connective, muscular, and epithelial tissue. Each of these three tissue are related and serve the body to allow it to function. Both the epithelial and connective tissues provide protection. Epithelial tissues protect exposed and internal surfaces, while connective tissue protects internal organs. Connective and muscular tissue both transport fluids and essential substances throughout the body.…

Choice "C" is the best answer. The patient has slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) of the right hip, a Salter-Harris type I fracture. This is an orthopedic emergency and usually requires prompt surgical intervention, with placement of pins to prevent further slippage. A delay in diagnosis or treatment leads to an increased risk of avascular necrosis of the affected femoral head. This can lead to long-term hip dysfunction and early osteoarthritis. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is…

The activity of the epiphyseal plate can increase in length with the diaphysis. When the epiphyseal plate closes, it is replaced by bone. The epiphyseal line appears and indicates that the bone has completed its growth in length. Cartilage cells are produced by mitosis and are destroyed and also replaced by bone on diaphyseal side of the plate. Zone of calcified cartilage contains mostly dead chondrocytes invaded by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, zone of resting cartilage firmly joins the…

to the growth plate based on the mnemonic SALTER; type I: Slip or Separation of the growth plate, type II: Above the growth plate, type III: Lower than the growth plate, type IV: Through the growth plate, and type V: Raised epiphysis. Children have open growth plates until after adolescence, so this area is more susceptible to injury.1 Injury to the growth plates can result in length discrepancy and growth plate arrest, angular deformation, or altered joint mechanics which may cause significant…
