The evaluation of short stature requires expertise to carefully determine the child's genetic potential, their current growth rate and evaluate for all potential causes of poor/slow growth. A critical component of the evaluation is the bone age x-ray which I prefer to review myself as I have found that in approximately 1/3 of the cases, I disagree with the original radiology report... If as a parent you are concerned about your child's height, an endocrine evaluation will be able to answer your questions and give you a prognosis of what the anticipated adult height will be so you can make an informed decision about potential treatments...
