[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP here, but DS is 4'5", 12 y/o
Had scan of wrist done, showed normal bone age which surprised me.  He's always late to lose teeth, looks way younger than his friends.
Anyone know if it's possible to be a late bloomer and also have a normal bone age?[/quote]

Are you and your spouse short?

Has he started puberty?

Those are the things I would be thinking about.[/quote]

I would get this looked into.  My 10 yr old son is 4'5" and short for his age..but on curve at 25th percentile.  What is your son's height percentile for age?

He also had a wrist X-ray done recently for a factor and the Dr made the comment "he has plenty of growing left to do." He had tons of space between all the bones and it looked like that of a 8 yr old.  So for mine, I'm not worried about height since he has followed his curve so far and still has a lot of growing left.  But for yours, he seems to be low on percentile plus with not as much growing left per x-ray. [/quote]
