Why Is My Growth Rate Slow?
I've suffered a shoulder injury, because my growth plates haven't fused; as well as a pelvic inflammation injury because I still need to grow some. I'm 16 and in 11th grade, 5'4, and both of my parents are 6'0. I'm an avid softball player. When will I grow?

Hi, thanks for asking.
Have you had signs of puberty yes?
Usually the height spurt occurs along with the puberty and up to tow years after that.
Your growth plates have not fused so your height is bound to uncrease till they fuse.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
