Will Child's Fingers Grow Any Bigger?

I am 17, All kids my age have pretty small hands compared to people who are at the age of 30-70 +
My dad has the same shape fingers and hand as me. He has a pretty thick and short fingers but they're really thick and his hand is just quite big. But mine compared to his is pretty small and my fingers are quite slim next to his. I was just wondering if i will ever get bigger hands or have they stopped growing? Did people who are 30-70 have the same hands as we do now when they were 17-18?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Usually growth of hand is completed till 18 to 20 so chances of his hand and finger growing are very less. Do not worry because hand and finger size vary quite alot and it does not have much effect on working ability.
