Could a hard fall on your ass stunt spinal growth?

Rollerskating, the place was closing and some heckin' toddler fell in front of me right at the exit of the rink and I graciously sacrificed myself as to not crush that frickin' GREMLIN and fell so hard on my ass, I thought I broke my tailbone for a minute. Haven't measured in a couple months, or so, but still around 5'8 at 16yrs/o.

your torso grows in length through vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs.
Your tailbone (coccyx) does not have any of these discs… But it does contain some small vertebrae’s.

The tailbone approximately makes about 1% of your total height.
If you fractured it you maybe would have grown 0.1% less than your final height. So yes bro you stunted your growth… :feelswhy:

I don't know much about the spine, but I was wondering if the impact could've caused my whole spine to compress and maybe cause hardening of whatever malleable parts are involved in growth. The tailbone is just where I felt the* most pain* from what I remember.
 
I trained judo for half of my life a lot of injuries and throws even had a fucked up neck i had to wear a nech brace for a month. Has this sttunted my growth?

It's kinda funny because I know many judo guys and they are all short. I just always thought they were inclined to practice judo because they needed to learn self defense and Jigoro Kano was short too

edit: but now I wonder if judo stunted their growth jfl

I wonder if there are many studies on the effects of impacts on spinal growth.

Maybe because its a japanese sport and mainly. In my case my judo trainer was a 2m+ beast
 
Whats that
Just combined the word idiopathic with judo, not a real thing. idiopathic short stature means something along the lines of unexplained short stature.

The only thing it could stunt is tailbone growth.
