A member asked:

Where do i go to get xrays to check if my bone plates are closed ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hand xray: Go see your doctor and if they deem it important enough they can order it. But if you have had your yearly physical exams your doctor should be able to give you information as to whether it is necessary by his growth chart.
