À propos de ce matériau

(En anglais seulement) Growth plates are located on the long bones of children and adolescents. Growth plates are avascular, aneural and consist of chondrocytes embedded in an extra-cellular matrix. Long bones grow longitudinally through growth plates where these chondrocytes synthesize cartilage that is subsequently ossified. Growth plates show typical viscoelastic behavior. It is crucial to study the mechanical properties of growth plates to understand the mechanism of its injury. Mechanical properties of growth plates are studied to learn about: its structural function in the body, the effects of pathologies on growth plate mechanics and related clinical issues, research in growth plate physiology.
