No: The bone age is a rough estimate and he may have periods where he is above the average, below the average, etc....

No height rise in6m : I recommend you have your son 's height taken again at the doctor's office and compare that with his height taken 6 months ago. If it's true, his growth spurt might be slowing. You can also discuss your concern with his doctor at that visit.

Peds Endo: A pediatric endocrinologist reviews bone age films regularly. If no growth has occurred in 6 months then growth is likely finished and the bone age may be more advanced, particularly if the bone age mentioned was obtained at least 6 months ago.
