Detailed explanation-1: -The growth plate is the weakest part of your child’s growing skeleton. It is weaker than nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles. Because of this weakness, injuries frequently happen in the growth plate of children and adolescents.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hypertrophic zone is the weakest because it lacks both collagen and calcified tissue. Most physeal separations occur through this layer because it is less able to resist shearing stress.
Detailed explanation-3: -The growth plates are weak areas of your child’s growing skeleton. Because they are even weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles, growth plates are vulnerable to injury.
Detailed explanation-4: -The growth plate is weaker than solid bone. This makes it more likely to get injured.
Detailed explanation-5: -On average, females stop growing around age 13 to 15, and boys around age 15 to 17. Obviously many children continue to gain some height into their late teen years, but the vast majority of growth is over by these ages.
