Separation of the proximal tibial epiphysis from the metaphysis by torsional force was experimentally studied using cadaver bone preparations from 19 adolescent sheep. The energy needed to displace the epiphysis increased in correlation with an increase in the age of the animal. The separated epiphyseal and metaphyseal surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy. In the younger animals the separation line passed through the area of hypertrophied chondrocytes. In the animals more near skeletal maturity the separation occurred in a more sinuous fashion and also through spongious bone.
利用19只青春期绵羊的尸体骨标本，对扭转力导致胫骨近端骨骺与干骺端分离进行了实验研究。骨骺移位所需的能量随着动物年龄的增加而增加。使用扫描电子显微镜检查分离的骨骺和干骺端表面。在较年幼的动物中，分离线穿过肥大软骨细胞区域。在更接近骨骼成熟的动物中，分离以更曲折的方式发生，并且也穿过松质骨。
