[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you tell bone age by looking at non-wrist x-rays or is it wrist only? My son just got an X-ray of his elbow for an injury and the orthopedist said his growth plates are wide open. He’s on the taller side for just having turned 14 so wondering how much gas is left in the tank, so to speak. [/quote] Calculating bone age is a separate work up typically and usually only done if there is a growth concern. Everyone else has to wait and see. You can probably get a vague idea of how much more he will grow based on how far he is into puberty + family history. But of course it varies….for example If he hasn’t had a voice change and doesn’t have a lot of facial hair (and has tall parents) he likely will grow more. If he has short parents a deep voice and is starting to grow a beard….obviously probably wont grow a lot more. [/quote]
