Changes of the growth plate in children: 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging analysis.

CONCLUSION: No significant correlation was found between changes in the growth plate and clinical parameters in children with growth retardation in this study, other than correlations of change in femoral diameter with weight and BMI. A larger, long-term study is needed to precisely evaluate the correlation between change in the growth plate and growth. PMID: 30032590 [PubMed]
