A member asked:
Is there a possibility that a person having an osteogenesis imperfecta become taller even at the age of 22?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It is very unlikely for a person to gain height at age 22 years, because the growth plates in the long bones have fused already.

Usually not: Statistically boys stop linear growth at 16 and girls at 14.
