Patient's question:
8-year-old epiphyseal plate has fused; can it be quickly opened through surgical methods? If it can be opened quickly, how much more can it grow? Is the risk level high? Which hospital is specialized? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not concerned about any help: Please help me, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, height is mainly determined by intergenerational inheritance and nutritional selection, and has little relation to premature birth. Boys only stop growing gradually after the age of 30. If you are a man, there is little room for height increase now. The main factors that interfere with height growth are exercise. To grow taller, you must stimulate the continuous growth of bones. Surgical intervention to stop the growth of leg bones and then allow them to grow again can enhance height, but this is not recommended.
