Introduction[edit | edit source]
The periosteum is an intricate structure composed of an outer fibrous layer that gives structural integrity and an inner cambium layer that possesses osteogenic potential. During growth and development it aides in bone elongation and modeling, and when a bone is fractured, participates in its recovery. It is not present in sesamoid bones and the intra-articular ends of bones.[1]
