It's not that big of a deal because in adults the long bones have mostly useless yellow marrow in them, but in some biological emergencies yellow marrow can be converted back to red marrow.
Really? If you donate marrow its replenished in 4-6 weeks. I thought it just regenerated when the rods come out.
This is what ChatGPT says:
"After the completion of the lengthening process and the consolidation of the newly formed bone, the yellow marrow can regenerate within the bone marrow cavity. The body's natural healing and regenerative processes will gradually restore the normal yellow marrow composition in the bone. This regeneration may take several months to years, depending on various factors such as the individual's age, overall health, and the specific bone involved in the surgery."
