  • Title: Effects of compression on growth plates in the rabbit.
    Author: Bonnel F, Peruchon E, Baldet P, Dimeglio A, Rabischong P.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1983 Oct; 54(5):730-3. PubMed ID: 6670489.
    Abstract:
    Compression was applied to the distal femoral growth plate in rabbits. Measurements of bone length and microscopic studies of the physis showed that the axial growth rate decreased proportionally with the compression force; forces greater than 30 N caused cartilage cell damage and rapid cessation of physeal growth.
