Hi,
I an turning 14 in december and recently required an xray of my hand for a sports injury. Nothing is broken. I noticed that my wrist growth plate is still open, but the plates in my fingers are all fused. I am 5'8 165 lbs. My father is 5'8 and my mother is 5'3. My uncles are 6'4. I am an elie athelete and would like to know if you are able to determine how big I will grow. I can email you the xray if you like. I heard that an endocrinologist is capable of doing this.
