A member asked:
When does a boy growth plate close?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: This is determined by an interplay between genes, hormones and nutrition. For males this can be as early as 15 and as late as 20, with most between 16-17. An x-ray of the wrist/hand is a common way to assess growth plates/potential for more growth in both genders.
