Age at which the bone line of boys closes

The age at which the skeletal line closes for boys and girls is completely different. Boys develop later than girls, so in an immature state, bone development will become slower. So parents should not be too anxious. As boys grow older, the skeletal line will begin to close, and they will no longer grow taller at this time. Therefore, they should still exercise more before the closure.

There is a disc-shaped cartilage structure between the metaphysis and epiphysis of the long bones of children's limbs, called the epiphyseal plate.

Epiphyses are secondary ossification centers that appear at different times after birth.

The epiphysis and epiphyseal plate are the growth areas of immature long bones of the limbs, and are also the weakest and most vulnerable parts of children's bones.

Epiphyseal injury can cause limb growth disorders, leading to limb shortening or joint deformities.

The epiphysis and epiphyseal plate are growth areas of the immature long bones of the limbs.

Children have epiphyseal lines at both ends of each long bone. These are bone tissues that grow rapidly. As they grow older, the epiphyseal lines disappear naturally, which is called epiphyseal closure. The actual meaning is that they have lost their natural potential for growth.

Description: Age, bones, connections

Mechanism: Due to aging, the soft connecting structures between joints become adhered and hardened.

After puberty and the closure of the epiphyseal lines, we will no longer grow taller (only considering the long bones). Because the long bones no longer grow, our legs and arms will no longer grow.

The reason for the saying of "twenty-three, one and a half" is that we can grow taller through non-long bone tissues, especially the lengthening of the spine, including bones and interosseous tissues (this is still very obvious to quite a number of people).

Blurred epiphyseal lines indicate that closure is imminent, but the closure of the lower limbs will be later than that of the upper limbs. It will be later in boys than in girls (this is also the effect of sexual development and hormone secretion).

For most people, twenty-one and twenty-two (for boys) is the latest time.

During the reserve period (6-10 years old), "cleaning + supplementing" inhibits premature development, cultivates an internal environment that is conducive to growth, replenishes growth elements and comprehensive bone nutrition in a timely manner, breaks through genetic disturbances, and lays a good foundation for the sudden growth during puberty.

Growth spurt period (10-14 years old) "Catch up + supplement + repair". Catch up growth, promote growth hormone secretion, accelerate bone cell division, supplement bone growth substances, and repair damaged bones. After adjustment, the time for children to "grow up" can be extended and good growth can be maintained.

Excavation period (14-18 years old) "Chase + drag". Supplement growth elements, accelerate the accumulation of bone cells. Increase the aging range by a few centimeters.
