Pathological Type I Salter-Harris fracture of the neuro-central synchondrosis of pig 7*. a. The neuro-central synchondroses (arrows) caudally in T7 were 2–3 times normal thickness. b. Image of the neuro-central synchondroses (arrows) of T8 for comparison. c. The increased thickness (arrow) was interpreted as a pathological, Type I Salter-Harris fracture of the neuro-central synchondrosis in T7 secondary to the visible ventral wedging of T6 and dorsal wedging of T8. d. The wedging is associated with marked kyphosis and lordosis. a-b. Transverse plane. c. Sagittal plane. c. 3D model, left view
