Epiphyseal closure is usually determined by X-ray examination, which shows the disappearance of the epiphyses at the ends of the long bones.
During normal growth and development, the epiphyses will gradually calcify and ossify with age, and the disappearance of the epiphyses at the ends of the long bones can be visualized as the completion of epiphyseal closure. The actual meaning of epiphyseal closure is that the body has lost its potential for natural growth.
Closed epiphyses can be determined by the results of an examination, but it is difficult to determine this by oneself, so X-rays and bone scans are usually performed. If an X-ray reveals that the epiphyses and metaphyses have ossified, it will be determined that the bone has closed. X-ray and other auxiliary tests can be used to identify and diagnose premature epiphyseal closure caused by trauma or tumors.
