The growth plates are the weakest areas of the growing skeleton. They are even weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles. This makes growth plates vulnerable to fractures.
Based on this passage, what is the risk level associated with a child who has an epiphyseal plate fracture?

Answer 1

A) low, because the epiphseal plate is only related to tendon growth

B) low, because the epiphsyeal plate is only related to ligament growth

C) high, if the break includes the epiphseal plate, becuase bone growth can proceed irregularly. ** my choice **

D) high, if the break doe not include the epiphseal plate, because bone growth can proceed irregularly.

Answer 2

C is my choice
