Title: [Some structural and functional peculiaritis of the growing skeleton and their significance in fracture healing (author's transl)]. Author: Schenk RK. Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir; 1976 Nov 15; 342():269-76. PubMed ID: 994640. Abstract: The following properties of the growing skeleton are discussed in relation to fracture healing: (1) The pronounced reaction of periosteum and endosteum and their part in the correction of deformities, and the vascular pattern of cortical bone; (2) the microscopical structure and the vascular supply of the growth plate, with reference to their significance in injuries; (3) the involvement of growth plate and growing articular cartilage in the modeling of the end of long bones and in the correction of angular deformitis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
