The boy is 16 years old with a bone age of 16.7 and a height of 1.70 meters. He may still grow taller.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the growth period is generally during puberty, and some may show growth over a year. The growth of height is related to genetics and individual differences. You can take a knee X-ray now to check and determine if there is a possibility of increased height. If the epiphyseal plate is closed, height will not increase. Otherwise, calcium supplementation or high jumping can be beneficial for height increase.
