« You can’t tell for sure without an X-ray. But, there is good correlation between bone age and puberty. You might get some idea how much growth you have left by figuring out where you are in your pubertal development. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanner_scale). The lower your Tanner number, the more growth plates are open (i.e., a younger bone age),the longer you will grow, and the taller you will become.

Growth stops when puberty is complete, as the hormones play a large role in closing the bone’s growth plates. The final stage of puberty is called Tanner Stage 5. (google “Tanner stages of puberty”). The average age boys reach Tanner 5 is 15 - 17 years old and the average boy has reached his final adult...

The average age boys reach Tanner 5 is 15 - 17 years old and the average boy has reached his final adult height by age 16 or 17. Boys who start puberty earlier than average (11.5 years) will stop growing sooner and boys who start puberty later than average will grow until an older age.

If your pubic hair extends from the crotch area to include the medial (inside) aspects of your thighs, this is Tanner 5. There is typically a year or two of growth left once Tanner 5 begins. Hair along the linea alba, the line that “connects” your pubic hair to your belly button generally means that growth is over. For males, if you need to shave everyday to avoid a 5 o’clock shadow look, you are finished growing taller. » - Frank Butera, pediatrician
