Apophysitis and Osteochondrosis
From WikiMSK
This article is a stub.
Apophysitis is a traction injury to the site of tendon attachment on cartilage. Osteochondrosis is a degenerative condition that affects the epiphyseal ossification centres of growing bone due to a temporary disruption of the blood supply at the bone-cartilage complex and not by traction injury.
