Patient's question:
Today I went for a check-up, and the doctor said the bones had healed. The child won't grow any taller anymore. But the child is only 16 years old, and 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 is typically between 14 and 16 years old. Your child is likely at the end of puberty, so the chances of further growth are slim. The above content is the full answer to the question: "Today I had an X-ray, and the doctor said the bones have healed. Will this affect my height?" We hope the patient can soon overcome the disease and recover, living happily every day.
