Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic

Hi.., There is no change in the musculoskeletal system..,
only the epiphysis which is formed during birth, and afterwards,
will grow and fuse with the metaphysis..,.. most of epiphysis fuse by 21 yrs..
only few bones fuse at late age...
Hope I have answered your question..
