I'm only 17 years old, and i just want to know how to find out if your growth plates are fully grown besides having an x-ray done.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need xray: Only way to determine if growth plates are closed or fused is by obtaining simple x-ray. Your family doc can order this (ask for bone age).
