Can the epiphysis grow taller after closing?

The epiphyseal line is closed, and it is generally impossible to continue to grow taller.

The epiphyseal line is mainly located at the distal end of long bones, and generally the structure of epiphyseal line will appear before the growth and development of bones are fully finalized. Generally, when X-rays are taken, the transparent shadow at the distal end of the long bone is found, which is the part of the epiphyseal line.

If the epiphyseal line has been closed, it means that the development of bones has been finalized, so it is impossible to continue to grow taller in the later period. The development of height is directly related to the growth of bones. When the bones stop growing, the height can't be increased.

Epiphyseal line is a unique structure in childhood. With the increase of age, the epiphyseal line will gradually close after the skeletal development, indicating that the development of height has stopped and it is impossible to continue to grow taller in the later period.

In childhood, paying attention to strengthening nutrition, eating more foods rich in calcium, exercising properly and keeping enough sleep time will help promote the development of height. Pay attention to regular physical examination. If there is a lack of nutrients, it should be supplemented in time to avoid affecting growth and development.
