- In both fetal and post-natal growth, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process known as endochondral ossification, in which ossification starts in the centers (diaphyses) of the long bones and spreads outward.
- The grafts were mounted onto steel cables and snap hooks in the load frame using either the holes in the tibial diaphysis or tendon graft loops.
- Interposed between the epiphysis and the diaphysis is the cartilaginous epiphyseal plate.

Origin
