A member asked:
My 14 year old son's bone age was cited as 2 std deviations above his chronological age. what does this mean in terms of his growth potential?

Short stature: If this trend continues, he will likely not reach his maximum potential height. A pediatric endocrinologist can help him!

He's nearly finished: A bone age 2 sd above expected would place him at the end of his linear growth phase. Growth afterward would focus on muscle mass and other areas of growth.
