Vækstplade also has another meaning in Danish (see below). Although I also saw 3 references to vækstplade with respect to bones and growth on google.

Navne i dansk medicin er som regel givet på latinsk. Hvis du er tilfreds med dit eget svar "vækstplace" og kan finde mange andre lignende på f.eks. google, har du da det valg.
