Observations were made which may be related to growth plate disorders. They included irregularity and thickening of the growth plate bridging of the plate by bony spicules, distortion of the plate adjacent to foci of fusion, and metaphyseal lipping. These observations are very similar to those found in "epiphysitis." The question had to be asked, where these normal foals or did they have sub-clinical "epiphysitis"?
观察到一些可能与生长板紊乱相关的情况。这些情况包括生长板不规则和增厚、骨小梁跨越生长板、靠近融合灶处的生长板变形以及干骺端唇样变。这些观察结果与“骨骺炎”中的发现非常相似。于是不得不提出这样一个问题，这些是正常的马驹吗？还是它们患有亚临床“骨骺炎”？
