What kind of drawbacks can quickly-growing complex creatures experience?

A mutated species of hominid now grows up very quickly (perhaps 3x its normal growth rate) has a natural regeneration factor. Like an axolotl*, it can regrow complex structures that it loses, like arms and legs. It would eat a lot more while regrowing structures.

Aside from cancer, what kind of diseases or drawbacks could this rapid growth lead to or facilitate?

*axolotls can regrow lost limbs over the course of a month or so. I'm not trying to explain unrealistic Wolverine-esque rapid regeneration.
