A member asked:
Hello, do growth plates fuse earlier in the wrist or knees? are growth plates in the knees fused later than in the wrist? how it is usually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epiphyseal plates: Your growth plates, aka epiphyseal, I think fuse at the same time throughout the body. A pediatric orthopedist or sports med would know for certain.
