Do steroids interfere with appositional bone growth ( bone width) ?? I know they can with interstitial growth of the epiphyseal plate but anything more than that I have never read about.

As far as im aware testosterone has no effect on bone growth once the epiphyseal plates have closed.
Also, weight bearing excercise, which steroid users do, increases bone mass above normal values which protects against age related bone loss later in life.
I love anatomy and physiology, got an exam tommorrow worth 50%! Cant wait

I was not clear, I am talking about in children under 21 not adults.
