There is usually only one way to determine whether the epiphysis has closed without taking a picture, and that is by observing the change in your height, which takes a certain amount of time. Once the epiphysis closes, the body not only will not continue to grow rapidly, but will also show a situation of basically no longer growing. 1. How to determine whether the epiphysis is closed: you can measure your height regularly and observe the changes in height to determine. If the height growth rate was relatively fast before, and slowly tends to slow down. If your height does not change much in the next one to two years, it means that your epiphyses are closing. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a long time to determine. 2. If you are interested in the growth rate of your height, we suggest you to take X-ray to determine the growth rate. Usually, the epiphyses begin to close around the age of 18. A transparent band of light can be seen on the X-ray, which is the epiphysis. If the band is very small and the visible transparent area is very short, the epiphysis is closing. It is advisable to have a radiograph taken if you have height expectations. Adolescence is a period of rapid growth and development, with significant changes in height and weight. When growth slows down or height does not change for a long period of time, it may indicate epiphyseal closure. If you experience slow growth in adolescence, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in time, and promote growth and development with reasonable exercise and diet.
