How long until legs and spine growth plates to close right after the hands growth plates has just closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The growth plates of the hand are numerous and have been studied for decades and compared to linear growth (growing taller). When they are closed, you don't grow taller. The other growth plates close at much the same time. Any minor differences have no significant effect on outcome.
