I quoted it from a Chinese orthopaedic textbook named <骨科学> an it told us that spine's closure time is later than kneecap's,around 25.I think if we can invent some exercises or similar things to activate spine's growth then maybe we can catch hold of our last hopes.
No,I think all bone plates ceased to grow almost at the same time.
I was wondering if they could apply the theory of LL to the spines, not cutting off the spines, but with medicine applied to the spines so the cartilage gets thicker thus leading to taller.
It appears so.Penultimate column of the table -> [vertebrae becoming completely ossified -> 23-26 years].
Actually two yrs ago I knew of a new technology that can implant artificial veterbraes into your spine to achieve you several cms but It was long ago so I can't give you the original resource.
Like artificial cartilage or something ? That would be great when one gets old, because height shrinks due to aging. Would need artificial cartilage to remain the same.
When I went for the limb lengthening consultation in the U.S. this past summer and asked if I could still grow, the doctor said my growth plates were closed and only growth I could attain would be in my spine because the spine still had some possibilities.
It's autumn now, did your spine grow any cm since you went to the doctor??
No.Statistics show after 17-18,boys can only grow taller by 0.5cm and you can't deny it with those outliers.
