When does a boy’s bone age close?

Generally, girls are around 16 or 17 years old, and boys are around 18 or 19 years old. Girls develop most rapidly during puberty between the ages of 11 and 15, while boys develop most rapidly between the ages of 12 and 16. Adolescence is the fastest period in life, and spring is the fastest period of growth in the year. Parents are especially reminded that for teenagers in this age group: A. Check their hair or blood to detect whether they are deficient in trace elements such as calcium, zinc, iron, etc. B. Pay attention to nutritional supplementation in multiple aspects. C. Drink milk before going to bed. D. Using growth enhancers can increase growth by 80-100% compared to natural growth.

The best place to take bone age X-rays is the wrist, because it is the simplest, most effective, most cost-effective, and causes the least harm to the human body.

If adults whose bone age has closed want to grow taller, they can only wear high heels with built-in height increase (fake height) or have surgery to increase their height (real height).

This situation is generally considered to be individual. Generally, it starts to close at the age of 16 to 18. At this age, it should have closed and it is unlikely to grow taller. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination.

A person's height is determined by genetic genes and acquired nutritional development. The normal bone age and actual age differ by less than one year, and the bone age is consistent with the actual age.

Guidance:

The child should grow to about 170 cm. As long as the epiphyseal line has not closed, further growth can be achieved. It is recommended that if you feel that your height is insufficient, artificial intervention can be performed before the epiphyseal line closes to promote further growth in height.

Height is not only related to genetic factors, but also to acquired factors, such as nutritional status and exercise. You can increase your height by strengthening exercise, exercising moderately and paying attention to nutrition.

All ossification centers have appeared, and sesamoids have appeared, which are a sign of the beginning of puberty or the beginning of developmental maturity.

Guidance:

In other words, the bone age of around 15 years old should be in line with the standard, and there are signs of precocious puberty. If the height is still not good enough, appropriate hormonal intervention can be considered. In addition, height is largely determined by the parents' genetics.
