An extra bone, often referred to as an accessory bone, can disappear over time through a process called resorption. This occurs when the body reabsorbs the bone tissue, typically due to mechanical stress, changes in load distribution, or lack of use. Over time, factors such as aging, hormonal changes, or injury can influence this process, leading to the gradual disappearance of the accessory bone. This phenomenon is part of the body's natural ability to adapt and remodel itself in response to various physiological demands.

How does extra bone disappear over time?
Extra bone can disappear over time through a process called bone remodeling. This process involves osteoclasts breaking down old or excess bone tissue, followed by osteoblasts laying down new bone in its place. Factors like hormone levels, physical activity, and nutritional intake can influence the rate of bone remodeling and the disappearance of extra bone.
A thick band of bone forms around a broken bone as it heals In time the thickened band disappears Explain how this extra bone can disappear over time?
The thick band of bone that forms around a broken bone, known as a callus, is initially created to stabilize the fracture and support healing. Over time, as the bone fully heals, the body undergoes a remodeling process where excess bone is resorbed by specialized cells called osteoclasts. This process helps restore the bone's original shape and strength, allowing the thickened area to gradually diminish as the bone returns to its normal contour.
How do you get a bone spur?
A bone spur is a growth of additional bone on top of normal bone. They usually form when the bone repair process is activated over a long time due to pressure, rubbing, or physical stress on the bone over a period of time.
