Exposure to blue light, like that from smartphones or tablets, may accelerate bone growth and bone age, leading to early ...

Human proximal and distal femur growth plate tissues were collected from 14 girls and five boys at different pubertal stages who were undergoing surgery for different medical indications (Table 1).

The distal femoral growth plate produces 1.6 cm in longitudinal growth per year. From a functional standpoint, the lower extremities should be of equal length if possible. If left untreated ...
