Specializes in Radiology

Possible: Men's skeletal maturation occurs later than women's. An 18 yo female is typically fully grown. A man at 18 may have a few more years of potential growth especially if the secondary sexual characteristics (voice changes, hair growth over groin armpits and face, etc) occurred later.
