Approximately 2 years after puberty your epiphyseal growth plates which are attached to your leg bones and arm bones fuse so these bones are not able to grow any more. This is why you don't continue to grow indefinetly! It is estimated that this happens at an earlier age in girls than boys, around age 16 and 18 respectively. This varies in individuals.
Around the time of puberty however we do have a growth spurt controlled by all the hormones in our body.
