Growth Center

While most anatomists have referred to a distal epiphyseal growth plate in the first metatarsal as rare or occasional, one definitive study has shown this accessory growth center to be extremely common in children under the age of 12 years. The authors discuss the significance of this phenomenon, and present a literary review, a clinical case report, and a retrospective radiographic study of 217 pediatric feet, confirming the incidence of the distal growth plate.

Cellular Secretion

In the cellular secretion theory of mineral deposition, extracellular matrix vesicles are believed to play an integral role in hard tissue mineralization (1). Membrane limited matrix vesicles arise from the plasma membrane of epiphyseal chondrocytes and tooth odontoblasts by a budding process (2, 3). Nutritional and hormonal factors have been postulated to play essential roles in mineral deposition and apparently have a direct effect on matrix vesicles of calcifying cartilage as concluded by Anderson and Sajdera (4). Immature (75-85 gm) Long-Evans hooded rats were hypophysectomized by the parapharyngeal approach and maintained fourteen (14) days post-surgery. At this time, the animals were anesthetized and perfusion fixed in cacodylate buffered 2.5% glutaraldehyde. The proximal tibias were quickly dissected out and split sagittally. One half was used for light microscopy (LM) and the other for electron microscopy (EM). The halves used for EM were cut into blocks approximately 1×3 mm. The tissue blocks were prepared for ultra-thin sectioning and transmission EM. The tissue was oriented so as to section through the epiphyseal growth plate from the zone of proliferating cartilage on down through the hypertrophic zone and into the initial trabecular bone. Sections were studied stained (double heavy metal) and unstained.

Bisphosphonates (BIS) are indicated for several clinical disorders (e.g., osteoporosis). However, BIS has been associated with osteonecrosis and alterations in osteoclastogenesis and skeletal development. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of BIS (zoledronic acid - ZA and alendronate sodium - AS) on zones of the growth plate of rat femur. Animals (Wistar rats, n = 19) were divided into groups: 1) AS Group: animals received alendronate sodium orally (3 mg/kg per day); 2) ZA Group: ZA was administered intraperitoneally (0.2 mg/kg per week); and 3) Control Group (CG): a vehicle was administered. Animals were euthanized 21 days after the treatment, and femurs were collected for histological analysis. The images of all zones (resting, proliferative, hypertrophic, and calcified) were processed by the Qcapture® software providing a 40 and 400-fold increase.  ZA decreased epiphyseal growth plate cell zones (ZA Group vs. CG) in most cases. Likewise, AS diminished the proliferative zone (AS Group vs. CG). Furthermore, ZA increased the calcified zone (ZA Group vs. CG). Previous works demonstrated that BIS decrease the epiphyseal disc. This reduction is probably due to the shortening of the cellular zones that undergoes calcification/ossification. The present results suggest that BIS should be carefully indicated because these drugs might accelerate epiphyseal closure.

ABSTRACT: Three outbreaks of osseous malformation in claves born of cows fed apple pomace throughout pregnancy are described. This study was carried out from historical surveys on properties where apple pomace was used in cattle feeding. The outbreaks occurred in the municipalities of Lages, Santa Catarina state, from 2007 to 2012, and Ipê, Rio Grande do Sul state, from 2011 to 2012. These calves presented bone deformity characterized mainly by arthrogryposis and chondrodysplasia of the anterior limbs. At necropsy, the observed changes were restricted to bending and thickening of the anterior limbs and skull. Microscopically, a disorganized, irregular, misaligned hypertrophic zone was observed in the humeral-radio-ulnar joints, in addition to absence of growth zone, thin bone trabeculae, and closed epiphyseal growth plate.
