The most active site of formation of bone in children is the metaphysis. Systemic and local diseases are reflected by alterations in the morphology of this region. In this pictorial essay, we examine several patterns of metaphyseal abnormalities seen on radiologic images and review the associated pathophysiology. Differential diagnosis may be aided by considering the pathologic mechanisms responsible for the various metaphyseal alterations.
儿童骨骼形成最活跃的部位是干骺端。全身和局部疾病可通过该区域形态的改变得以体现。在这篇影像论文中，我们研究了在放射影像上所见的几种干骺端异常模式，并回顾了相关的病理生理学。考虑导致各种干骺端改变的病理机制可能有助于进行鉴别诊断。
