If there are eight or more in your group, or you are willing to pay for eight people, we may be able to start a tour for you on a date that the tour does not regularly run. This tour will last about 18.25 hours. We depart Las Vegas at about 5.45 a.m. and will return at about midnight. Because of the vast distances, times are not guaranteed, and we are in no way responsible for the consequences of delays. All times are approximate and this itinerary may change without notice.
Most growth plate fractures -- more than 30% -- occur in the long bones of the fingers. They are also common in the the outer bone of the forearm (radius), and lower bones of the leg (the tibia and fibula).
Growth plates are located between the widened part of the shaft of the bone (the metaphysis) and the end of the bone (the epiphysis). The long bones of the body do not grow from the center outward. Instead, growth occurs at each end of the bone around the growth plate. When a child is fully grown, the growth plates harden into solid bone.
