title: [Biodynamics of the epiphyseal plate].
abstract: The architecture of the collagenous fibers in epiphyseal plates of infantile long bones is ordered in a manner that tensile load is able to be transformed in compressive stress and reverse. This system can be classify in the theory of the formation of the sustentacular tissue by mechanical forces of Roux, Benninghoff and Pauwels.
