Question

The growth plates are the weakest areas of the growing skeleton. They are even weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles. This makes growth plates vulnerable to fractures." Based on this passage, what is the risk level associated with a child who has an epiphyseal plate fracture?

Answer 1

it can cause deformentey

Answer 2

Answer:

The risk is high.

Explanation:

The epiphyseal plate is a hyaline cartilage plate located on the metaphysis of the termination of long bones. Plaque is found in children and adolescents, as it has the function of assisting bone growth. A child is at high risk for a fracture involving the epiphyseal plate, because as this plate is associated with bone growth, a fracture will cause the child's bone growth to proceed irregularly and may lead to problems in the child's development.
