Impaired growth at one end of a long bone may be compensated by increased growth at the intact end. In experiments, such a compensatory growth was less frequently observed in the cartilaginous structures of the skull than in the sutures. Achondroplasia is an example of compensatory growth in the neurocranium, the disturbed growth of the base of the skull being compensated by an increase of the calvarium according to the space required by the contents of the cranial cavity. In the face, compensatory changes may be observed in conjunction with increased adenoids, as a result of impaired growth of the mandible in case of juvenile rheumatic arthritis or in conjunction with condylar fractures in young age. The processes of growth during orthodontic treatment constitute the border-area between compensatory and adaptive growth.
长骨一端生长受损可能会由完好一端的生长增加来补偿。在实验中，这种代偿性生长在颅骨的软骨结构中比在缝合处更少被观察到。软骨发育不全是颅盖骨代偿性生长的一个例子，颅底生长紊乱会根据颅腔内容物所需空间，通过颅盖骨增加来得到补偿。在面部，由于青少年风湿性关节炎时下颌骨生长受损，或因年轻时髁突骨折，可能会伴随腺样体增大而观察到代偿性变化。正畸治疗期间的生长过程构成了代偿性生长和适应性生长之间的边界区域。
