Changes considered representative of normal growth. Proximal is to the top and distal is to the bottom of each image. a Medial is to the right and lateral is to the left of the image. b Caudo-medial view. a Pig 2, interval 3, right distal femur, frontal plane. The physis has an undulating profile, free from focal widening. There is gradual widening of the physis towards the periphery medially (between arrows) and laterally. A narrow rim of bone extending slightly beyond the periphery of the remainder of the bone is visible laterally (below asterisk*; “lipping”). b Pig 2, interval 3, right stifle. There is a narrow rim of bone (arrow) extending slightly beyond the periphery of the remainder of the bone, towards part of the margin of the physis (“lipping”)
