精美动画：骺板损伤(附中英文解说）

      骺板是在人体骨骼发育成熟之前位于骨端骨骺和骨干之间的软骨组织。它决定骨骼的生长发育，但很容易受伤。关节过度运动或创伤可导致骺板损伤。

Overview（概述）

Growth plates are sections of cartilage near the ends of bones that are present until a person reaches maturity. They allow the skeleton to grow and lengthen, but are highly susceptible to injury. Growth plate injuries can result from overuse of a joint or from trauma. 

      骺板是在人体骨骼发育成熟之前位于骨端骨骺和骨干之间的软骨组织。它决定骨骼的生长发育，但很容易受伤。关节过度运动或创伤可导致骺板损伤。

Causes（病因）

Growth plate injuries most often result from overuse and inadequate rest during sports activities, especially pitching in baseball. Pain after activity or inability to fully move the elbow are warning signs and should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible. 

      过度运动及体育运动时不适当休息是骺板损伤的主要原因，特别是在棒球比赛中投手投球。运动后疼痛或者不能完全活动肘关节是可能损伤的信号，应及时让医师检查评估。

Symptoms（症状）

A growth plate fracture can cause pain, swelling,and a decreased ability to use the joint. If not treated properly, a severe growth plate injury can interfere with normal skeletal growth, causing a shortened or deformed limb. 

      骺板骨折可引起疼痛，肿胀，关节功能受限。如果没有进行恰当的治疗，严重的骺板损伤可妨碍骨骼的正常生长，导致肢体短缩或畸形。

Treatment（治疗）

Treatment options include rest, immobilization of the joint with a cast or brace, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. Some injuries that displace the growth plate or damage articular cartilage may require surgery to realign the bones and possibly remove loose pieces of the joint.

      治疗方法包括休息，用夹板支具固定制动关节，抗炎药物治疗以及物理治疗。移位的骺板骨折或关节内软骨损伤可能需要外科手术治疗，恢复骨的解剖结构及取出关节内游离骨块。
