Abstract:
Epiphyseal fracture is a significant etiology of limb deformity in children following fractures. However, unlike the rapid advancements in orthopedics, progress regarding the pathological changes, diagnosis, and treatment of epiphyseal fractures has been slow. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology and classification of epiphyseal fractures, as well as the post-fracture pathological changes occurring within the epiphysis and its surrounding areas. Furthermore, it reviews recent advancements in the treatment of epiphyseal fractures. By summarizing laboratory-to-clinical progress related to this type of fracture, this article aims to assist pediatric orthopedists in accurately recognizing, diagnosing, and treating such injuries.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
