How do i maximise growth? i am 21 years old (male) and recently got a x-ray of my wrist after a fracture. i found out that my growth plates are still open. what could i do to ensure some more linear growth at this age? im almost as tall as my dad?

Hight is genetically determined. Short of ensuring that you have good nutrition and adequate sleep, there’s nothing you can do to affect your eventual height. Learn to enjoy whatever height you are! Good luck.
