[Collagen fiber texture and injury pattern of the epiphyseal groove].
Injuries of the epiphyseal plate seem to follow the course of the collagenous fibres in the epiphyseal plate. Studies using polarized light and scanning electron microscopy show the relationship between the collagenous fibres and the direction of fractures of the epiphyseal plates.
