A member asked:

What types of medical conditions could cause an adult, whose growth plates should have closed years ago, to grow one, two or three inches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acromegaly.: Even with closed growth plates, slow growth of bone is possible with the massive "overdose" of growth hormone that the pituitary produces in acromegaly.
