hypertrophic cartilage zone in the metatarsals is about twice that of wild-type at birth and becomes more pronounced with growth so that by 3 weeks, it is 6-8 times as long
ectopic areas of ossification begin to appear within the hypertrophic zone at 4 weeks of age and the ectopic ossification proceeds rapidly so that in some bones the entire zone of hypertrophic cartilage is ossified, leading to a large area of trabecular bone, however this is resolved with subsequent remodeling so that by 8 weeks, bones appear normal
secondary (epiphyseal) ossification sites are delayed until 2.5 weeks of age, however, by 3 weeks of age, these sites are completely ossified as in wild-type
