Growth / adolescence: Signs of late puberty- beard? How tall is family ? Always at 5% or has he dropped %? Xrays show bone fusion-late puberty ? If not late puberty sometimes growth spurt just occurs later -even at 16 or beyond . Dont worry. Discuss w/ MD growth hormone levels - sometimes kids are deficient and get injections . https://www.hgfound.org/copy-of-intrauterine-growth-retarda-1
