Circumferential cuts through the periosteal covering of long bones have been demonstrated to transiently increase epiphyseal growth. This effect appears to be independent of vascular changes accompanying surgery and has been hypothesized to relate to releasing tension in the periosteal envelope. This study was designed to address problems of previous investigations by controlling for the effects of the surgical procedure and by using regression analyses to analyze intra‐ and interanimal variations in the length and proportionality of the femur in experimental, sham, and control Sprague‐Dawley male rat littermates. Experimental animals received circumferential periosteal sectioning of the right femur and no operation to the left limb. A sham operation without periosteal sectioning was performed on the right femur in the sham group. Right to left differences were analyzed using two multiple regression models; one involved three absolute length measurements as the dependent variables, while the other used the three ratios of these length measurements as the dependent variables. The ratio measures were utilized to reflect changes in bone proportionality.
