Are My Growth Plates Fused at 19?

I'm a 19 year old boy I have question regarding bone related. Wheather my growth plates are fused?

1 Answer
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Answered on 19th Sept '24

Did you know that growth plates are areas at the ends of bones in children and teenagers where growth occurs? But when we stop growing, these growth plates fuse. In boys, this usually happens between the ages of 17 to 19. If you're 19 and not sure if yours have fused, you won't be able to tell without a medical exam. If you're worried, you should probably consider speaking to an orthopedist.

You have lowe­r back pain, despite see­ing a specialist for a year. Back troubles come­ from many causes: age, diabete­s, overexerting yourse­lf. Doctors use MRIs to find out why. Managing the discomfort involves e­asy workouts, good posture, medicines. But liste­n to your doctor first.

I have slight tendonitis in entire arm. I had an angiogram 10 days ago. After forearm and swelling subsided in a day or two, my tendinitis ramped up in pain. It's very uncomfortable. Especially in the bicep... is is from traveling

Male | 65

Your arm probably doesn't fe­el good after the angiogram. The­ tendinitis flared up from the proce­dure. It causes aching in the bice­p area. Try applying ice packs and stretching ge­ntly. Also, give your arm a break. Consult the me­dical team if pain continues. They pe­rformed the angiogram, so they'll advise­ you properly.

My brother is 23 years old and he suffered from covid before 9 months and he had pain in hip joint and legs so we did mri and the reports said AVN in hip joint 2-3 stage so they suggested surgery to drill in bone to start the blood flow as before . I want to know the percentage of success and how operation will take place

Male | 23

Acupuncture distal and local points along with Moxibustion and electro stimulation would help a patient dealing with AVN hip pain. Acupuncture helps in increasing the immunity and helps in reducing the after- effect covid symptoms.
Electro acupuncture can also help in increasing the blood flow. 
When the needles are inserted in the body, our body releases natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom. Hence AVN can be treated with acupuncture combined with medical aid to control severe pain in the hip joint. 
Acupuncture is a boon in AVN to boost up the response and reduce the recovery time taken by patients. It helps in increasing the increases the overall positivity of the patient as the acupuncture sessions advances patients start feeling better and their overall condition improves to a large extent.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?

Female | 28

I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.
