What Does My Sons Wrist Xray Report Indicate?

My 14.7 year old son is 5 4.5 . He started puberty around 11.5 or 12 years old. His last physical his doctor noticed that he was around a 4.5 tanner scale. She ordered a wrist x-ray that found him to be at a 17 year bone age with wrist plates still open, fingers closed. Please tell me if there are any options for him as he is very upset about this. He is scheduled to see a pediatric endo. soon. I am 5 2 and my husband is 5 8 . thank you.
