Abstract
Vertebral GPs display differential growth, with measurements similar to the slowest-growing GPs of long bones. Further investigation is needed to decipher the molecular basis of the differential growth of the spine and the long bones. Knowledge on the distinct mechanism will ultimately improve the assessment of clinically essential characteristics of spinal growth, such as vertebral elongation potential and GP fusion.
