To have a bone age assessment or related examination, individuals can visit a reputable medical facility and make an appointment with the orthopedic department, which primarily focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, patients may go to the hospital's physical examination department, as bone age evaluation is often included in routine check-ups. Furthermore, younger children can receive bone age assessments at the pediatric care department.
