A member asked:

My toes are growing. does this mean that my height will grow too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interesting observtn: I've never had anyone mention the growth of their toes. Males tend to end their linear growth between 17-19, with a few growing later. An x-ray of the wrist and hand can reveal open growth centers and predict more growth, if closed, further linear growth is finished.
