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

Joint Replacement Surgeon

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.

My mother is 62 years old and has had recently gone under ORIF for her elbow injury. She has a history of rheumatoid arthritis and also osteoporosis sue to her age. She takes hypertension medicine and controls pre-diabetes with diet. It's been 10 days since her surgery, she has a temporary plaster and we haven't got the x-ray yet. What are her chances of full recovery? Can there be any complications because of arthritis and how can we prevent those?

Female | 62

Considering your mother's age, medical history, and recent elbow procedure, her chances of complete healing are good. However, arthritis can sometimes slow down recovery. It's important to follow the doctor's advice, attend follow-up appointments, and keep her joint gently moving to prevent stiffness.

I am a 60 years old female. I have bone pain in different part of body. For last 4 days I want to know which disease dose I have. And treatment of this disease

Female | 60

Probably the effects of osteoporosis are coming out in you. Weak and brittle bones are the reason why it is easier to faint and die. In addition, it can lead to unevolved discomfort in some parts of your body. One of the causes of osteoporosis is aging, not getting enough calcium and vitamin D, or taking some medications. The main components include the introduction of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-preserving medicine, and participation in regular activities aimed at enhancing the moisture content of bones.

Female | 61

The pain you are experiencing can be due to the inflammation or irritation of the nerves which are located in the back. It is vital that your doctor is aware of the pain so they can assess it and choose the most appropriate action. Treatment alternatives may contain physical therapy, medication, or further assessment in order to treat the primary issue of the pain.

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.

I have a sprain in my finger for 2 weeks

Male | 23

Your finger has be­en sprained. This happens whe­n the ligaments (bands connecting bone­s) stretch or tear. It leads to pain, swe­lling, and trouble moving your finger. To aid recove­ry, rest your finger. Ice it. Wrap it with a bandage­. Keep it ele­vated. Don't move it exce­ssively until the discomfort subsides.
