My son is 13 and has a bone age of 17. He’s 6ft tall. I’m worried about him not growing any further. It definitely appears as if his growth has slowed significantly and he is starting to get peach fuzz on his face. He’s been in the 99% percentile for height and weight since birth. We have an appointment with Endocrine but of course it’s like 5 months away. 😫
There could be so many reasons for that from simple genetic to issues like precocious puberty, overactive thyroid gland, silver russel syndrome, excessive steroid use. Needs to be properly investigated by a pediatric endocrinologist
Hi my son is 13 yrs old 3 months his height is 160 cm but he got an x ray pn left wrist and bone age of left wrist is 16 yrs old. Would he be able to grow 2 or 3 inches more?
Bone age can be normally within 1-2 years of chronological age on either side and nothing to worry about that. If the epiphyseal plates of bones have not fused fully some further growth can occur
@@margaritaquezada3973 completely understand. I’m honestly more concerned that something medically is going on. We’re you able to get answers for your child?
