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).
Each long bone has at least two growth plates-one at each end. This is where the long bones grow. When young people finish growing, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone. Growth plate injuries occur mainly at the wrist, bones of the legs, or in the ankle, foot, or hip bones.he growth plate is the weakest part of the growing skeleton. Injuries to the plates are called fractures. Growth plate fractures happen twice as often in boys as in girls.
