No not at present there are experiments at the moment going on in several country's where the aim is to regrow cartilage and bone in a controlled manner to repair joints but nothing has been introduced in that direction yet. one of the big problems wit arthritis is that the bone that is damaged as a result of missing cartilage tries to repair itself leading to ridges of bone forming where they do more harm then good.

What type of bone is the diaphysis of a long bone?
You have a primary cartilaginous joint between epiphysis and diaphysis. There is a plate of cartilage between the two. That make it possible for the bone to grow in length. This plate of cartilage is replaced by the bone tissue as the growth ceases.
In adults does cartilage grow back faster than bones?
No. Bones usually take about 6 weeks. Cartilage can take years.
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.

What happens to cartlage as a person grows?
if by cartlage, you actually mean "CARTILAGE" as in the tissue in the human body,then the answer to that is as a person grows, cartilage gradually disappears in long bones (meaning the bones of your arms and legs) because as a baby, your whole bone is actually cartilage, but bone forming cells called osteocytes begin to grow and form bone tissue and gradually it grows in the place of cartilage, so cartilage disappears in those areas. However, you still have different types of cartilage in different areas of your body that just remain there like you have hyaline cartilage in your ribs.Hope that answer satisfies you !
