Bones primarily grow in length during childhood and adolescence through a process called endochondral ossification, which occurs at growth plates. These growth plates gradually close after puberty, typically around the late teens to early twenties. While bones can continue to change in density and shape throughout life, they do not grow in length after these growth plates close. However, the body can respond to stress or injury by remodeling bone, but this does not increase length.
