A member asked:

Ma'am, my xray report says the iliac crest epiphyses is not fused. will its fusion increase a few inches to my height? hmny inches? i'm 5ft 6.5in now

Inches: It is unlikely, but not impossible, that your height will increase after age 18. If it does increase it won't be by much. How tall are the men - father and brothers - in your family? If they have markedly outgrown your height it would not hurt to see a bone doctor.
