Marcus' right arm is longer than his left because the epiphyseal plate in his left humerus was damaged and could not maintain the normal mitotic rate of the comparative growth plate in his right humerus. Marcus was only 14 at the time of his injury. I would explain to him that, absent the injury, the humeri in both arms should have kept growing at the same rate until about age 18-20 years. However , since the growth plate in the left humerus was damaged at age 14 it was not able to maintain the rate of mitosis of the right epiphyseal plate. Therefore, for four to six years the right epiphyseal plate outperformed the left epiphyseal plate and made his right arm longer than his left.
