The image and report may be reviewed during a virtual consult with HTMG. The report may indicate that there is almost complete growth, with potential for a little bit more growth. Discuss with your Pediatrician and review your diet and growth chart.

Not really enough information here to help. But, in general most males reach skeletal maturity between ages 16-18 (meaning no growth left). A radius x-ray is not the best means to measure skeletal maturity and a full skeletal survey would be better.
