Title: If a child needed to have surgery that removed all growth plates, what would be the effect on bone growth? Post by: leo501 on Jun 12, 2018 Growth plates are located as a narrow strip of cartilage between the diaphysis and epiphysis. If removed, the bone lengthening would stop, and the child would essentially remain the same height. Bones would still be able to grow in terms of width.
