before starting steroids what other reasons besides your growth plates closing are there?
i have a 17 year old nephew, just got his knee x-rayed b/c of mcl injury and they told him his growth plates closed
are there reasons dealing with sexual effects?
they were able to tell just by xraying his knee?????Quote:

Even though his growth plates are closed his enocrine system is not fully developed, any expirmentation with AAS could cause an irreverseable endo imbalance leaving him on meds forever. No one should consider gear until they are fully developed at a minmum for most I would say that would be at least 23yrs.
what can u do to tell if your endo sys. is fully developed?
Come on now man you no better than to help a 17 year old juice. whats in it for u? :?: Plus if he has a bad knee he cant do much heavy lifting.Quote:

It's just that being able to tell all of that from a mere X-Ray seems very strange.

Yes and there are ignorant Mother fu#*ers that play with rattlesnakes as part of their religion and don't get hurt, does that mean we should all pick one up?Quote:

Until the epiphyses of the long bones (femur, tibia and fibula when considering height) close, further growth is possible. That occurs on average around 18. The test would be an x-ray of a knee (only one is necessary) for fusion, closure, or ossification (they all mean the same thing) (or lack thereof) of the epipyseal plate. There are other causes of short stature - obviously poor nutrition and genetic endowment, but also hypothyroidism (which should produce other symptoms as well).
I thought that it was possible to tell with an X-ray, but wanted to look to make sure.
Well I'll be damned!!! It's true!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Tanner stages)
The Tanner stages (also known as the Tanner scale) are stages of physical development in children, adolescents and adults. The stages define physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sexual characteristics, such as the size of the breasts, genitalia, and development of pubic hair.
Due to natural variation, individuals pass through the Tanner stages at different rates, depending in particular on the timing of puberty.
In HIV treatment, Tanner staging is used to determine which treatment regimen to follow, either adult, adolescent, or pediatric.
The Tanner stages were first identified by (and named for) James Mourilyan Tanner.
It is commonly misbelieved that the Tanner stages measure the entire course of puberty. However, this is not true, bearing in mind that the internal reproductive organs begin changing much earlier, and finish changing much later, than the changes visible from the outside. Scientifically speaking, puberty begins at an average age of 9 in females and 10 in males, and ends at an average age of about 22. This is based on 'puberty' being defined as the period just encompassing all changes in the reproductive organs associated with the final activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, beginning when gonad growth begins to accelerate, and ending when all gonad growth is complete
uh oh. i fvkd up
