Abstract
Throughout this chapter and Chapters 13 and 14, reference will be made to articular or joint cartilages. These rest on the articular lamella of bone or articular bone plate, covering over the articular vascular plexus conveying the blood of the articular circulation. In long bones, the epiphyseal bone mass intervenes between the articular cartilage and the growth cartilage. The growth cartilage is in contact with two specialized subchondral circulations, on the epiphyseal and metaphyseal aspects of the cartilage. Growth cartilages are discussed in Chapter 11.
