Heel Pain in Youngsters (Apophysitis)
Apophysitis is inflammation
of the growth center of the heel bone. As children grow, bones
grow and change shape until they reach the adult foot size
during the late teenage years. Most bones are present at birth,
but some appear at specific ages. Most long bones grow along
the shaft near the joint, the epiphysis, but some bones, such
as the heel bone grow by forming a cap, almost like an eggshell
as the main body of the heel bone ossifies to enlarge and
meet this cap, the apophysis.
