A 15-year-old football player is tackled during a game, and the epiphyseal plate of the left femur is damaged (figure 6.16). What are the results of such an injury, and why is recovery difficult? Diaphysis of femur Fractured epiphyseal plate Epiphysis Joint cavity Epiphyseal plate Diaphysis of tibia Figure 6.16 Fracture of the Epiphyseal Plate Radiograph of an adolescent's knee. The femur (thighbone) is separated from the tibia (leg bone) by a joint cavity. The epiphyseal plate of the femur is fractured, thereby separating the diaphysis from the epiphysis.
