A fact from Endochondral ossification appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 December 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Endochondral ossification is one of two types of bone formation and is the process responsible for much of the bone growth in vertebrate skeletons?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/December.

Handy Gray's Anatomy images that may be suitable for this article

We have a number of images from Gray's Anatomy waiting for an appropriate article. In particular, I think there are a bunch of relevant bone-growth ones on Wikipedia:Gray's Anatomy images with missing articles 2 (#72 onward). I don't know enough about the subject to pick which, if any, are strictly relevant. We also have any number of ones like Image:Gray215.png showing the centres of ossification in a given bone (I really don't know if one of those would be relevant). -- John Fader 19:52, 24 December 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from "Endochondral bone"

I suggest that "Endochondral bone" be redirected to here. It seems to be a common term. -Pgan002 08:37, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Short Bones?

I think this is for long bones AND short bones, as opposed to endromembranous bone formation which is for flat bones. But it seems like that section has references to support it, so I didn't want to make the change without confirmation. Mbarden (talk) 22:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a lot of modifications.

According to 1 and 2, Long and short bones form from cartilaginous precursors and later undergo endochondral ossification. Flat bones evolve differently and develop by intramembranous ossification. The allegation that flat bones form via endochondral ossification is more or less incorrect. Also the ethmoids and the skull base are a bit questionable and need further support.
