Patient's question:
Today I went for a check-up. The doctor said the bones have healed, and the child won't grow any taller. But the child is only 16 years old. Both my wife and I are not tall. I want to ask if the child can still grow taller.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, once the epiphyseal plate heals, growth in height usually stops. For boys, the peak of puberty typically occurs between 14 and 16 years old. Your child is likely in the later stages of puberty, making further height growth unlikely. The above content is the complete answer to the question: "Today I had an X-ray and was told that bone healing will affect height growth?" It is hoped that the patient can soon be free from the troubles of the disease and recover quickly, living happily every day.
