Whats bone overgrowth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal way to keep: Up.After major bone growth ceases in early adult life, bone remodelling continues indefinitely.The extent of bone overgrowth is influenced by the level of local mechanical stress, genetic predisposing factors, the passage of time, and, probably, age related changes such as the menopause. Some time could be harmful and most of the time innoccent.
