===Damage to Periosteum===
 
*Invokes a hyperplastic reaction of the inner layer
 
*Is painful
 
*Exostoses can remodel or remain
 
 
 
Lifting of periosteum causes new bone formation below
 
 
 
Circumferential incision (e.g. during [[Bones Fractures - Pathology|fracture]])
 
*Longitudinal bone growth results
 
*May be only on one side where periosteum is damaged
 
**Used by surgeons to treat [[Angular Limb Deformity|angular limb deformities]]
 
 
 
===Physis (Growth plate)===
 
 
 
*Site of many '''congenital''' or '''nutritional''' bone diseases in the growing animal
 
*'''Open''' in neonates and growing animals
 
**Chondrocyte proliferation balances cell maturation and death
 
*'''Closes and ossifies''' at maturity
 
**Regulated by androgens
 
*If growth teporarily stops -> layer of bone seals the growth plate -> moves into metaphysis when growth resumes -> forms '''Harris lines'''
