“Osteonecrosis is a disease caused by reduced blood flow to bones in the joints. In people with healthy bones, new bone is always replacing old bone. In osteonecrosis, the lack of blood causes the bone to break down faster than the body can make enough new bone.”

This is a line graph showing blood volume on the y axis and time on the x axis. The plot line is shown in red. The line starts about one quarter of the way up the y axis at point A. The line then quickly increases to point B, which is almost at the top of the y axis but only about a tenth of the way across the x axis. The line then gradually descends, reaching point C approximately midway across the x axis and midway up the y axis. The plot line begins to level out, only slightly decreasing before reaching point D, the endpoint.

This is an image of the inferior epiphysis of a vertically oriented bone. The growth plate is shown crossing horizontally through the epiphysis just above the three knob-shaped structures at the very end of the bone. A fracture has occurred diagonally through the epiphysis. The fracture extends across the left third of the epiphysis, traveling from the shaft to the low area between the leftmost knob and the middle knob to reach the end of the bone. The fracture travels perpendicularly through the growth plate.

“Each long bone has at least two growth plates, also called epiphyseal plates. The growth plate is responsible for adding length to the bone and, therefore, determines the future length and shape of the mature bone.”

Based on this description, how will the fracture depicted in the image above affect the bone’s growth? (2 points)
