This doesn't matter anyways, statistically you should have half of your longitudinal growth still left but again statistics don't mean anything as outliers also exist.

Wrist epiphyses always fuse first, like distal radius>tibial femur>spine, something like that and your distal radius doesn't look fully fused so you have a lot of time left probably
finger plates closed and your growth plate is fusing rn you dont have much growth left

giving u solution cuz u actually went into detail thanks.

my friend says x-rays cant image cartilage so dont know if its bone or cartilage there.

anyways going aggressive on heightmaxxing now. just wondering cuz androgens dont rly stimulate much height growth past the bone age of 14,5 and the cartilage seems way more sensitive to its ossification effect. dont want to go “too hard” with roids idk. whats your pov on that

I'll make an AMA soon and answer everything there as comprehensive as I can (wouldn't have to repeat the same thing 10x), can tag you if you'd want me to
