[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a med student on pediatric endocrine right now. We see lots of kids like this in clinic. They will do a bone age (xray of the hand) to see if his bone age matches his chronological age. If his bone age is younger than his real age that means more growing time aka the late bloomers. If his bone age and chronological age match he may just be on the shorter side. Boys have their big growth spurts after puberty starts, of in the middle of puberty is when they have their fastest growth velocity which is about 14-15 years for most males. [b]Facial hair and voice changes are later signs of male puberty.[/b][/quote] You don't mean to say those are the signs they are near the end of their biggest growth spurt, do you?[/quote] I would think that a boy with facial hair is close to the end of his growth spurt, but I'm sure everyone is different.[/quote]
