what does it mean by there is an unfused epiphysis in the tibial tuberosity??



Answers:
Tibial tuberosity is a sudden forced flexion of the knee against a contracted quadriceps muscle, (caused by a forceful landing or jump) injuring the main bone of the lower leg, the tibia.

Unfused epiphysis is present in children and adolescents allowing their bones to grow normally; one of the human growth plates in the legs. Since it's unfused, it means the bones are still growing.

I can tell you that I had to wade through a lot of latin to figure it out.

Hope this helps.

So, to summarize; it's actually a pretty painful leg injury in a child or adolescent and may even require being in a cast or at least off their feet for 4 to 6 weeks.

dunno
It means you are still growing. When the epiphyseal plate fuses, long bone growth ceases.
