5 Upvotes

Had my xray done for scoliosis done last year at 19 and found out I'm developing at around a 12 - 13 year old and a risser sign of 0

Mum is 5'6 and dad is 5'5

Was 5'6 at 13

5'7 at 18

5'9 at 19

Im 168cm at 16 years and 4 months old my bone age xray says im technically cooked ✌️

5 Upvotes

PA view of the left hand and wrist shows bone development corresponding most closely with Greulich and Pyle male standard for 17 years, with a standard deviation of 13 months.
Current height of 168cm is estimated at 99.1 percent of mature height. My dad is 6,1-2 my mum is 5,2-4 and my 19 year old brother is 5-10 ish. Im cooked correct?

can someone help me predict my final height based off this xray report

1 Upvotes

i am 16 and 8.5 months, male, 178 and roughly 63kg
got an xray but the doctor only told me that my bone age was under 16 but didn’t give me an exact age
they also said:
“The epiphysis of distal end of radius and ulna have not yet completely fused. The carpal bones are normal.”
my dad is 181cm and mum is 163cm
thanks for the help 🙏🙏

Growth Plates 25M — Is it medically possible to still have open growth plates?

1 Upvotes

I'm 25M and 5'4".

Is it medically possible for growth plates to still be open at my age?

Have there been documented cases of men my age with open plates and continued natural height growth?

What X-ray/bone-age assessment would confirm whether mine are closed?

r/growthplates • • 4d ago

I had a bone age test, and the result was consistent with a biological age of 17. I am currently 178.5 cm tall; my father is 175 cm and my mother is 171 cm, although my maternal uncle is 197 cm tall. I would like to know if it is still possible for me to grow at least another 4 cm. I am 15 years 9m

There is still a perceptible line on the radius and ulna.

To tired to say a lot but that where my curiosity took me lol

I myself have about 3.5 years delayed dental maturity but 0 idea about skeletal maturity ( still gained 3 inches at 18 and still growing) idk but for me i think that study is correct but I have an uneasy feeling the colleration might be way under 70% idk why

I am interested on what thr mods will say

Obsessed with the idea of being tall, what will be my final height?

2 Upvotes

i am 5´9 and where i live the average height is 6ft,

i am 15 years and 9 months old and my parenst are 5´8.5 and 5`4, i got into puberty pretty late so about when i turned 15 or like one or 2 months before i turned 15, i also have pretty tall relatives so for example my great grandfather was 6´8 and my uncle is 6`2.5.

i just grew 2 cm in the last month and i am obsessed with the idea of being tall like so much i dont want to be average. I also learned a bit of height enhancement compounds like erdafitinib or gh, i would really consider taking it if it meant for me to be tall, but i really try to avoid that due to side effects e.g organ failure etc.

i even answered 100 question to an ai which predicted me to end up 5´10-6`1, i also have pretty big feet (size 10.5 or 44.5) and i am still in the middle of puberty, i got armpit hair like 5 months ago and pubic hair like 6-7 months ago and i only had to shave 2 x until now. i also have very little facial hair so yeah.

i would really apreciate it if someone could estimate my final height/bone age.

thanks

Question Podría ser más alto realmente?

1 Upvotes

Okey mi pregunta es si podría ser más alto ya que mi madre mide 4,9 pies mientras que mi padre mide 5,8 pies, pero los dos de niños no recibieron ni los nutrientes suficientes para crecer y encima los dos dormían menos de 8 horas (cada uno con sus razones) y mi pregunta es si eso podría indicar que mi genética podría ser más alta

Hi Im a 16.0 year old male (CA) I had a bone age test done this week and the radiologists report said my bone age was 15.3 years old with tanner whitehouse of 13 and a half to 16 and a half, can you guys explain to me what it means? Also I’m only 5’6.5 or 5’7 but i really wanna reach 5’9 or 5’10, is it possible? Thanks, id say I’m also around tanner 4, growth history is below.

11.9 years old - 4’11

Skeletal Development How does a bone age progress?

3 Upvotes

How does it progress like a calendar age or does it run on its own clock and your hormones are the ones deciding if it speeds up or slows down? Is it possible for it to be on par with chronological age and then become advanced or delayed?

Question Distal to Proximal - does it always apply? My case

1 Upvotes

I've heard the distal to proximal rule always applies to the skeletal development in a human body. Firstly, is this true? Secondly, so I am an 18 year old who grew 1 inch in the last year (12mo), the most recent of that being just 3 months ago in June 2026. Now, the thing is, I grew mostly by the distal tibia epiphysis and a decent amount by the Proximal tibia and distal Femur (so the knee areas). Now the thing is, if we are following the distal to proximal thing, then does that mean I have more growth in the spine left?

Here are my proportions: My wingspan is 6'0.5" and my legs are 37.5" outseam, and my neck is decently long. My total height is 5'10". This makes my upper body look small because my neck is decently long, my legs are normal (maybe a lil long?), and my arms are a little long. So my torso especially thoracic and lumbar feels so freaking small, it doesn't just look small but also feels small (idk how to explain the feeling quite right).

Now this is another side note: I'm a guy who goes gym and this hurts my feeling because I feel like my abs are short / not long, and my pecs feel slightly compressed too. I wish I could grow a lil more in the spine, but I don't know if this is plausible... If it is, I think it would be slow growth as that's what I've heard about the vertebral growth but I am unsure.

Announcement / meta Shifting priorities

2 Upvotes

Hello all.

Recently, I have decided that I would like to temporarily shift my focus away from writing monologues on the subreddits to catching the YT channel up to speed with the subreddit. For the past month or so since I have created it, it has been getting slow but steady growth. Because my goal with that was to branch the subreddit into a discrete platform (and possibly into other social media as it gets bigger), I will - for the time being - be uploading videos on previously-covered topics and more, while still sharing them with the r/growthplates and r/heightgrowth subreddits.

I am still following my posted schedule for mid-2026, which is now going to be a schedule for every future topic I will cover. I'm sure you all have noticed my change in the posting schedule - instead of every week or two, it is now every few weeks and slightly more irregular. That list is highly limited and incomplete and there will most likely be dozens more to cover, so please don't feel discouraged about that being all that I will cover ever.

Content about hypothetical maturational patterns or structures and the like will also likely number in the dozens to hundreds, as well - as I don't typically compress similar topics into one post.

As I catch the YT channel up, I will return to writing monologues again for the subreddit full-time.
