My daughter is 6 and a half and she is shorter than her peers. We’ve been told that she could reach 150 cm when she grows up according to her hand x-ray images. Her mother is 160 cm, and her father is 173 cm. Do you think it’s normal? If no hormone deficiency is detected, is there anything that can be done to increase her height?
Kubra Hanim, We plan and perform the lengthening surgery at 1.45-1.50 in patients who will not exceed 1.30. It's not an easy process for kids. I don't think we should consider surgery at this stage. I can recommend Prof dr Firdevs chief teacher. A person I can count on in Child Endocrinology Dr. Halil Balci was sent from my iPhone
You must first present your child to a child endocrine specialist. If there is no endocrine problem, then we can discuss the details for extension. Good day Dr. Cengiz Sen
