My 14.7 year old son is 5 4.5 . He started puberty around 11.5 or 12 years old. His last physical his doctor noticed that he was around a 4.5 tanner scale. She ordered a wrist x-ray that found him to be at a 17 year bone age with wrist plates still open, fingers closed. Please tell me if there are any options for him as he is very upset about this. He is scheduled to see a pediatric endo. soon. I am 5 2 and my husband is 5 8 . thank you.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor .when wrist plates are still open there is chance for him to grow. AS per your heights he is expected to reach the adult height of 5.6-5.7. You may see the pediatric and get his opinion also. There is no need to worry. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
