From the X-ray images youâve shared, the growth plates around the wrist and distal radius/ulna appear partially open, which means some growth potential is still present. At 16 years of age, most boys are in the late adolescent phase, where growth continues but at a slower rate. Having grown about 7 cm since spermarche suggests your peak growth phase has likely passed, but another 2â4 cm of height gain is still possible before the plates fully fuse. Complete closure usually occurs between 17â18 years in males.
