Pubertal growth and epiphyseal fusion
The complex networks of nutritional, cellular, paracrine, and endocrine factors are closely related with pubertal growth and epiphyseal fusion. Important influencing factors include chondrocyte differentiation capacity, multiple molecular pathways active in the growth plate, and growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-I axis activation and epiphyseal fusion through estrogen and its receptors....
متن کاملTreatment of nonunion of olecranon fractures.
We report the results in 24 consecutive patients treated from 1976 to 1991 for nonunion of olecranon fractures. Their mean age was 42 years, and the mean interval from fracture to treatment for nonunion was 19 months. Management was by rehabilitation and activity as tolerated for three, continued immobilisation for one, and operative treatment for 20. Operations included excision of the olecran...
متن کاملTreatment of chronic wounds at the olecranon.
Surgical resection of the olecranon bursa may be complicated by wound healing problems. Treatment with debridement and primary skin closure can be attempted. We reviewed eight patients in whom this approach had failed. In four patients we achieved wound healing with a pedicled flap (three antecubital fasciocutaneous island flaps and one radial forearm flap). In three patients the wound healed a...
متن کاملMechanisms of growth plate maturation and epiphyseal fusion.
Longitudinal growth occurs within the long bones at the growth plate. During childhood, the growth plate matures, its total width decreases and eventually it disappears at the end of puberty with complete replacement by bone along with cessation of longitudinal growth. The exact mechanism of epiphyseal fusion is still not completely understood and experimental studies are complicated by the fac...
متن کاملEffects of estrogen on growth plate senescence and epiphyseal fusion.
Estrogen is critical for epiphyseal fusion in both young men and women. In this study, we explored the cellular mechanisms by which estrogen causes this phenomenon. Juvenile ovariectomized female rabbits received either 70 microg/kg estradiol cypionate or vehicle i.m. once a week. Growth plates from the proximal tibia, distal tibia, and distal femur were analyzed after 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks of tr...
