At what age do human bones begin to ossify or fuse for men?

Do you mean begin or end? I think it begins in the womb for both genders.

The long bones in the legs are the last - finishing growth around 18 to 19 years. For women it is some of the bones in the hip area that are last - finishing at about age 23.
