A member asked:
Is it possible to grow again or unstunt , stunted growth during late puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increase in height is possible when the growth centers in the long bones remain open. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can be evaluated for growth centers. If they are closed as most are at 16 in women, 18 in men, you cannot "unclose" them. Once closed no more increase in height is possible.
