How do i know whether i'm done growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-rays: Through an x-ray exam a doctor is able to verify whether your epiphyseal (growth) plates have fused or not. This is an area at the end of a long bone. Once you have stopped growing this plate turns into an epiphyseal line.
