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

Answer 1

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.

Your tibial tuberosity is the bone that sticks out a little just below your knee cap. Bilaterally means on both sides. There is no pathology in the wording that you gave. Basically tibial tuberosity bilaterally means "knees on both sides"....it doesnt say what may be wrong.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

dunno
