Based on the handâwrist X-rays you shared, your growth plates appear partially open, suggesting a bone age of around 15.5â16.5 years, so some growth potential still remains. With your current height of 5'6" and parental heights, your genetic target height is approximately 5'7"â5'8", making it possible to match or slightly surpass your father. Most boys at this stage gain about 2â4 cm before growth plates fully close. Your peak height velocity is likely already completed or in its final phase, with slower growth continuing till 17â18 years. To maximize remaining growth, ensure adequate sleep, balanced nutrition with protein, calcium, and vitamin D, and regular physical activity.
