! Osteoblasts: a question

I'm trying to understand better the "life" of healthy adult bones - i.e.
after the epiphyseal lines in the long bones have closed.
I wonder if osteoblasts or osteoclasts can provide variation not only in
mass but also in the *volume* of the bone - I mean not in consequence of a
whatever health
problem - and, in case this is true, in which measure the bone can change
(in length, width or shape).
