Patient's question:
Daughter, 10 and a half years old, 148cm tall. She came for menstruation to measure bone age. Eight carpal bones were visible in the left wrist. The radial epiphysis, the joint surface of the ulna, and the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the palm were clearly visible. The ulnar epiphysis, the head of the ulna, was confirmed. The joint surface of the triquetrum and lunate appeared on the palmar and dorsal surfaces. No obvious abnormalities were observed in the bone structure of the bones seen.Doctor's answer:
Hello, clinically, a girl's bones are approximately 16 years old, and they are basically closed. By the time they are 22, they are truly closed. If the bones do not truly close, the long bones will continue to grow, and height will increase again. Children can only add about 10.5 years to their age, and it is usually necessary to get more sun exposure, pay attention to meat, eggs, beans, and legumes, as well as supplements such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A and D, vitamin C, etc. Additionally, physical activities such as ball games and jumping exercises can have a certain impact on increasing height.
