A member asked:

Is it true that the vertebrate growth plates close a year or two later than the growth plates in the wrists and in the knees?

Not really: Once the growth plates in your hand and knees close you are done growing so if you are hoping that your spine will continue to grow for another year or two it is very unlikely
