The epiphysis (/ÉËpÉªfÉ¨sÉ¨s/) is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s).Between the epiphysis and diaphysis (the long midsection of the long bone) lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate (growth plate).At the joint, the epiphysis is covered with articular cartilage; below that covering is a zone similar to the epiphyseal plate, known as subchondral bone.his article is about the rounded end of a bone.

Tibia (Shinbone) Shaft Fractures. The tibia, or shinbone, is the most common fractured long bone in your body. The long bones include the femur, humerus, tibia, and fibula. A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle. Because it typically takes a major force to break a long bone, other injuries often occur with these types of fractures.
