Abstract
Longitudinal growth of immature rat femurs was studied in diffusion chambers after circumferential periosteal division and stripping. After 14 days significant (P < 0.02) overgrowth of the periosteally divided femurs had occurred. The reason for the observed growth stimulation is discussed.Keywords
