The femur, like other bones, grows primarily during childhood and adolescence through a process called endochondral ossification. This involves the transformation of cartilage into bone, primarily influenced by growth hormones and nutritional factors like calcium and vitamin D. After reaching maturity, the femur does not grow in length but can increase in density through weight-bearing activities and resistance training. For overall bone health, a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential.
