Does having blount's disease affect growth and will the person stop growing taller. i am 16 years old with blount's disease and i am still growing. will it affect my growth?

Minimally: This bone disorder affects only the shape of your tibia bone in your leg. Height is only minimally affected (0.5-1cm). Your height is affected most by the height of your same gendered parent (male=Dad's height), nutritional input (more protein= taller) and when your puberty ends (typically 17yrs in males). Having fewer serious illnesses can also help with growth.
