A member asked:
My xray report says the iliac crest epiphyses is not fused. will its fusion increase a few inches in my height? if yes, how many?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You grow in your long bones.Nothing of significance to your height happen with the pelvis at that bony center. If an xray of your wrist and hand (long bones) shows open centers, you may have more growth left. If that wrist xray shows you are at a bone age of 18, you are done.
