Changes to normal structure

    • 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 fracture)
      • Longitudinal bone growth results
      • May be only on one side where periosteum is damaged

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
