Apophyseal Fracture
Apophyseal Fractures refer to fractures that occur at the site of an apophysis, which is a bony outgrowth or protuberance where muscles and tendons attach. These fractures often affect adolescents during periods of rapid growth when the apophyses are not fully fused to the main bone. Commonly known as growth plate fractures, they are more prevalent in areas such as the knee (e.g., Osgood-Schlatter disease) and the heel (e.g., Sever's disease).Pain, swelling, and tenderness are typical symptoms. and improve with rest. Imaging studies like X-rays are used to diagnose Apophyseal Fractures and determine the extent of the injury. Treatment involves rest, activity modification, pain management, and sometimes physical therapy. Severe cases may require casting or bracing. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention contribute to optimal recovery and long-term musculoskeletal health.
