Is a wrist x-ray tne final way of telling if growth are fused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty much: An ap view of the hand and wrist has been the standard method for evaluation of skeletal maturation for many years. This includes the status of the of the various growth plates. Closure (fusion) of the growth plates is fairly clear cut.
