For young people in growth and development, the epiphysis line will gradually close, and the body will gradually grow taller and mature. If you want to check whether the epiphysis line has been completely closed, the easiest way is to go to a regular hospital to take an X-ray here. For patients at this time, DR equipment can clearly show whether the epiphysis cartilage around the large joint has ossified and closed. When the patient is photographed, if the epiphysis is not ossified, it appears as a very transparent line, that is, a line that appears relatively dark, and if the epiphysis is closed, it appears as a line of higher density, that is, a line that is similar in color to the surrounding bone.
