Q

Explain the relation of the zone of calcification to physeal fractures.

A

The zone of Hypertrophic zone is divided into three layers, and the zone of calcification is the firsthest away from the resting zone.

This is where apoptosis happens - making it relatively weak and pre-disposes to injury.

Most fractures are through the zone fo calcification, which is good because it is far from the reserve zone which is protective against growth arrests.
