Vascular events associated with the appearance of the secondary center of ossification in the murine distal femoral epiphysis

WE Floyd, DJ Zaleske, AL Schiller, C Trahan and HJ Mankin

Although the formation of a secondary center of ossification is often compared with that of the primary center, there are striking differences between these processes. In the formation of the primary center, vascular invasion is always associated with the maturation of chondrocytes, whereas vascularization of the epiphysis can proceed in two different ways. In some species, the epiphysis is vascularized by cartilage canals before the appearance of the secondary center. However, in the mouse, the distal femoral epiphysis is vascularized by peripheral vascular invasion without pre-existing cartilage canals. Histological study of serial sections and studies of vascularization by injection with India ink demonstrated the relationship between hypertrophic chondrocyte formation, vascular invasion, and the formation of the secondary center of ossification in the murine distal femoral epiphysis.
