Cartilaginous Path of Physeal Fracture-Separations: Evaluation with MR Imaging—An Experimental Study with Histologic Correlation in Rabbits

Abstract

The course and level of injury within the cartilage in physeal fracture-separations can be defined with MR imaging. Extension into the juxtaepiphyseal physis, a potential risk factor for growth arrest, is detectable with MR imaging; MR imaging and histologic findings correlate well.
