Lifting of periosteum causes new bone formation below

Circumferential incision (e.g. during fracture)

Longitudinal bone growth results
May be only on one side where periosteum is damaged
- Used by surgeons to treat angular limb deformities

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
