Fracture in adolescence is a very particular injury of the epiphyseal cartilage or growth plate. Lysis and fracture are likely to occur in parallel in a certain period of life. Final ossification of the growth plate does not occur in concomitance with termination of adolescent skeletal growth, but it goes on for some more months, for example on the distal epiphyseal plate of the tibia and the median anterior part of the epiphyseal plate. This region, consequently, is likely to remain vulnerable to injury. The zonal structure, epiphyseal plate, and blood supply are discussed in some detail. By example of three cases, reference is also made to high-accuracy diagnosis by means of X-ray and axial computer tomography.
青少年骨折是一种非常特殊的骨骺软骨或生长板损伤。在生命的某个阶段，溶解和骨折可能同时发生。生长板的最终骨化并非与青少年骨骼生长的终止同时发生，而是会持续几个月，例如胫骨远端骨骺板和骨骺板的正中前部。因此，该区域可能仍然容易受到损伤。文中详细讨论了其带状结构、骨骺板和血液供应。还通过三个病例举例说明了通过X射线和轴向计算机断层扫描进行高精度诊断的情况。
