At a bone age of 16, several growth plates are still open and actively contributing to height. Here’s a detailed look at these bones and their expected fusion times:

1. Long Bones of the Legs

  • Femur (Thigh Bone)
    • Growth Plates: The proximal (top) and distal (bottom) growth plates are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Typically fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Significant contributor to height.
  • Tibia (Shinbone)
    • Growth Plates: The proximal and distal growth plates are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Usually fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Significant contributor to height.
  • Fibula (Lower Leg Bone)
    • Growth Plates: The proximal and distal growth plates are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Generally fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Contributes to leg length and overall height, though less than the femur and tibia.

2. Spine (Vertebrae)

  • Cervical Vertebrae (Neck)
    • Growth Plates: Growth plates in these vertebrae are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Typically fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Contributes to overall spinal length and height.
  • Thoracic Vertebrae (Mid-Back)
    • Growth Plates: Growth plates in these vertebrae are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Usually fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Adds to spinal length and overall height.
  • Lumbar Vertebrae (Lower Back)
    • Growth Plates: Growth plates in these vertebrae are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Typically fuse between ages 18 and 22.
    • Contribution: Significant contributor to spinal length and height.

3. Clavicles (Collarbones)

  • Growth Plates: The growth plates at the ends of the clavicles are still open.
  • Expected Fusion Time: Typically fuse between ages 21 and 25.
  • Contribution: Affects shoulder width and posture, with an indirect effect on height.

4. Pelvis (Hip Bones)

  • Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis
    • Growth Plates: Growth plates in these areas are still open.
    • Expected Fusion Time: Generally fuse between ages 18 and 25.
    • Contribution: Limited contribution to height; more impact on pelvic structure and alignment.

Summary

At a bone age of 16, you still have open growth plates in:

  • Long bones of the legs (fusing between ages 18 and 22).
  • Spine (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae) (fusing between ages 18 and 22).
  • Clavicles (fusing between ages 21 and 25).
  • Pelvis (fusing between ages 18 and 25).
These open growth plates are actively contributing to height, and significant growth potential remains.

not true at all btw

Collarbone lowkey underrated!! Foids love when they can see ur collarbone for some reason
