well i have broken my foot and the doctor i went to said that nurofen stops the growth of bones. Then i went to the hospital and they said they have relied on nurofen for the past 30 years and it is a load of rubbish. to tell you my point of view i think they somehow are both wrong because i have used nurofen and i have been fine and walking on my foot all the time but i need to recast it because my bone hasn't grown in the right direction. so i have re casted it and im fine now after taking no nurofen and not walking on it so yer. NON'T HAVE NUROFEN WHEN U HAVE BONE!

Why do peoples bones stop growing at the age of 20?

Bone growth is controlled by a variety of factors, including growth plates found at the ends of long bones. At around age 20, these growth plates ossify and turn into solid bone, which signals the end of longitudinal bone growth. After this point, bone remodeling and maintenance occur instead of growth.


How do you tell if a bone is still growing?

Bones typically stop growing in length by the end of puberty when growth plates close. A pediatric doctor can assess growth using X-rays to check if growth plates are still open or not. If X-rays show unfused growth plates, the bone is likely still growing.


Are foot bones the slowest growing bones in the body?

Yes, foot bones are among the slowest growing bones in the body. The growth plates in the feet, known as epiphyseal plates, close around the late teens to early twenties, which is one reason why foot size tends to stop increasing significantly after that age.


What happens if the epiphyseal plate of long bones in children closes too early?

If this happens, then the growth of the bones will stop lengthwise. So the height of the boy will not increase further. The breadth of the bone can still increase. You have two such plates in long bone. Both needs to be closed in order to stop the growth length wise.


Why do people stop growing?

People stop growing taller once their growth plates, located at the ends of their long bones, fuse together. This typically occurs in late adolescence to early adulthood. After these growth plates close, bones are no longer able to lengthen and individuals reach their maximum height.
