Twelve growth plates in 11 patients with clinical evidence of partial growth plate tethering underwent thin slice (1.5 mm) axial high resolution computed tomography (CT), or direct coronal CT. The normal epiphyseal plate was readily visualised as a low density layer of soft tissue density between adjacent sclerotic margins of epiphysis and metaphysis. Two growth plates had greater than 50% obliteration and ten had partial obliteration. Our preliminary results show excellent correlation between the CT findings and surgical pathology. We expect that CT will replace polytomography in the operative evaluation of partial growth plate arrest, as it has in our institution.
11例有部分生长板束缚临床证据的患者的12个生长板接受了薄层（1.5毫米）轴向高分辨率计算机断层扫描（CT）或直接冠状面CT检查。正常骨骺板很容易被视为骨骺和干骺端相邻硬化边缘之间软组织密度的低密度层。两个生长板有超过50%的闭塞，十个有部分闭塞。我们的初步结果显示CT表现与手术病理之间有极好的相关性。我们预计CT将在部分生长板停滞的手术评估中取代断层摄影，就像它在我们机构中那样。
