How to self-test whether the epiphysis is closed?

There are epiphysis in many parts of the human body, the most common ones are the knee and ankle joints. The so-called epiphysis refers to the ossification point that appears between the cartilage at both ends of the human bone. When a person is just born, that is, in infancy, the bones of the joints are not closed. Only when the person reaches a certain age will the epiphysis be completely closed. So how do you know whether your epiphysis is closed?

How to self-test whether the epiphysis is closed?

Whether the epiphyseal line is closed should be judged according to the specific age. Generally, for younger children, the degree of ossification of the carpal bones is examined to determine the child's bone age and height growth. For older adolescents, the degree of ossification of the epiphyseal lines at the ends of long bones is generally looked at to determine whether the epiphyseal lines are closed, and thus whether their height has been fixed. In addition, the dry scale line is also a common site for some bone tumors. However, to observe whether the epiphyseal line is closed by yourself, a certain knowledge of X-ray reading is required. First of all, you need to know which are the high-density shadows, medium-density shadows, and low-density shadows on the X-ray film. Generally, high-density shadows are bones that have already been ossified. Conversely, medium- and low-density translucent areas are locations where ossification has not yet taken shape or are cancellous bone or the medullary cavity. Generally speaking, the hemostasis line of long bones is the length of the "hyaline cartilage" at the enlarged ends of the long bones, that is, the transition area between the high-density shadow at the end of the long bones and the medium- and low-density shadows on the X-ray film.

It is recommended that the lower legs be provided so that they can be observed intuitively. As long as I'm before 28, there is a certain chance. Now I'm training to grow taller according to Yang Yunfeng's height growth diary, mainly stretching, jumping, etc. After persisting for a period of time, there have been some changes. But I'm too busy recently and it's really difficult to squeeze out time for training. It will be fine next week. But friends who have the same hope, let's encourage each other. I will try my best. Keep it up.

People with epiphyseal lines cannot be registered. If you are not satisfied with your height, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and do a bone age test to see whether the epiphyseal line is closed. It is recommended to strengthen rich nutrition, ensure adequate sleep, and exercise more, such as swimming, playing ball, and high jumping, which are all exercises that promote height growth.

It is impossible to tell with the naked eye whether the epiphyseal line is closed, but at your age, it is impossible for the epiphyseal line to be closed, so you don't need to worry about it.

Guidance:

You must go to bed early at night and participate in some physical exercise, such as running and jumping. You should drink milk. If you can’t drink milk, you should drink yogurt. Don’t be picky about food and eat a balanced diet, but don’t eat too much, as it will cause obesity.
