| Abstract: | Stress contours have been generated in photoelastic models simulating cartilaginous and bony epiphyses. According to the findings, the secondary centre of ossification is formed in areas of the cartilaginous epiphysis show n to have reduced mechanical stress. The bony epiphysis appears to have been developed as a more mechanically efficient structure. |
