While playing on her set, 10 year old sally falls and breaks her right leg. At the emergency room, the doctors tells her parents that the proximal end of the tibia where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis is fractured. The fracture is properly set and eventually heals. During a routine physical when she is 18, sally learns that her right leg is 2 cm shorter that her left, probably because of her accident. What might account for this difference?
