Which type of growth happens after growth plate close?

A thickening of bone occurs called appositional growth after the growth plate closes in late teens. If this type did not occur and the bone would just get thicker, we would weight about 200 pounds more than we do. The bone inside is removed by osteoclasts (bone breakers) while bone on the outside is laid down by osteoblasts (bone builders).


Can height increase after 26?

Some people say you stop growing after 16 or after 20..but you could still have growth spurts in your mid 20s why not? At 25 years of age, all of the growth plates should have closed, so it is unlikely that one will grow more in height. None of the methods that have been tried, such as stretching, vitamins, and so on, have actually helped make people taller. You can certainly try simple things such as putting thicker insoles in your shoes, but as far as actually getting taller, it most likely won't happen.

Can girls have a growth spurt at the start of menarche?

Yes, it is completely possible for a girl to have a growth spurt after her first period. The idea that menarche (first period) marks some stop in development is false, menarche is one of many changes that occur during puberty. Puberty continues until adulthood, menarche on average starts at 13 years old whereas puberty tends to end around the age of 18 years old, so a girl may see a growth spurt later in their teens long after they've started to menstruate.
