Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Premature closure of a growth plate subsequently results in a shortened bone, this can occur in a number of situations:
Common causes include:
-
local hyperaemia
- infection: osteomyelitis
- juvenile chronic arthritis
- juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
- haemophilia
- arteriovenous malformation
- trauma
Less common causes include include:
- bone infarction due to vascular occlusion, e.g.
- radiation injury
-
thermal injury
- burn
- frostbite
-
disuse, e.g.
- immobilization
- postfracture
-
congenital
- enchondromatosis
-
hereditary multiple exostoses
- multiple cartilaginous exostoses
- osteochondromatosis
-
metabolic conditions
- rickets
- scurvy
- hypervitaminosis A
- pseudohypoparathyroidism
- pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
-
other
- infantile multisystem inflammatory disease
- neoplasm invading growth plate
