Tall Stature	

	There are relatively few pathological cases of tall stature, with most children representing the upper end of normal distribution of height. Most often there is a family history of tallness in one or both parents. Ultimate height can be predicted by assessment of bone age. A diagram showing the method of evaluation of tall stature is shown in Fig. 14.30.
