Does bone stop regenerating once you reach puberty?

Bone does not stop regenerating once you reach puberty. Bone regeneration is a continuous process that occurs throughout life and helps maintain bone health and strength. It involves the breakdown of old bone tissue by specialized cells called osteoclasts and the formation of new bone tissue by other cells called osteoblasts. This process of bone remodeling ensures that bones adapt to the demands placed on them and repair any damage caused by age, injury, or disease.

While the rate of bone growth and remodeling slows down after reaching skeletal maturity (around 18-25 years), bone regeneration continues albeit at a slower pace. Throughout adulthood, bone cells continuously work to maintain the structure and strength of the bones.
