Question 4

10 / 10 pts

Andrew is a young boy who loves to climb trees. While attempting to climb his favorite oak tree, Andrew fell and fractured his humerus. The radiologist described Andrew’s injury a transverse fracture that spanned his epiphyseal growth plate. The doctor tells his parents that:

Andrew’s other arm will experience enhanced growth.

Because Andrew’s arm has not fully developed, there is the possibility that the arm’s final length is shorter than the other arm.

Because Andrew’s arm has not fully developed, it will heal well like a typical bone break.

If Andrew is going to climb trees in the future, then the parents should pre-wrap him in bubble wrap.

Because Andrew’s arm has not fully developed, the chondrocytes in the growth plate will likely increase in hyperplasia.
