A member asked:

What would be causes for female's bones to still be open & unsealed in mid thirties? thought girls shouldn't add anymore height after 25 @ the latest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See docotr: Bone growth close in teens or 21. If this would not happen it could be hormonal abnormality as excess of Growth hormone. Simple X ray of wrist is used to asses " Bone age" in questionable short statute of children or teens. In adulthood it is never normal to have open bone cartilage . Please see your doctor for more testing.
