What is meant by Bone age and why does it differ from someones actual age... ?


Question:
My eight year old son has a bone age of 10 y/o when I asked the MD why she could not give me an explanation and referred him to a specialist. I'm trying to research bone age but I'm having trouble finding info. on this subject. TY in advance

Answers:
I think you should ask for a bone age test to be done in the Xray department of a lab. My son didn't grow when he was younger and we were worried that the time he ingested ant poison, with arsenic in it, that it did some damage to his system. We had his wrists Xrayed and it gave us his bone age. We were quite satisfied with the results. It isn't painful or expensive and would answer your question.
