When the epiphysis closes on a bone the bone can no longer grow in what?

When the epiphysis closes on a bone, the bone can no longer grow in length. The closure of the epiphysis marks the end of longitudinal bone growth, but the bone can still increase in thickness through a process called appositional growth.


How long does it take for the bone to grow back after having surgery to move the jaw?

It typically takes about 6-8 weeks for bone to heal and grow back after surgery to move the jaw. However, full recovery and regeneration of the bone can take several months to a year. Physical therapy and following post-operative instructions can aid in the healing process.

Can hip bone spurs grow back?

Hip bone spurs may regrow after surgical removal in some cases, but this is relatively uncommon. However, the presence of underlying conditions that contribute to bone spur formation, such as arthritis, can lead to new bone spur formation over time. It's important to address the underlying cause to help prevent future bone spur growth.


What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?

Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.

Osteocytes grow bone (lay it down) and osteoclasts break down bone. So there will be many more cells laying down bone (osteocytes) in primary bone.

How quickly would bone spurs grow if an injury in the neck was caused from a vehicle accident which resulted in whiplash and possible herniated disc?

In less than an hour. Really bone spurs take more time to grow than an hour. The other damage, yes. Bone cells called osteoblast take time to produce more bone. It would be like healing a broken arm. That will take 4-8 weeks to knit that bone back together.
