Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The first step in ossification of the cartilage is that the cartilage cells, at the point where ossification is commencing and which is termed as an ossification center, enlarge and arrange them in rows.1 The study was carried out involving 100 school students of age group 14 to 16 years at residential school nearest to the Dept of Forensic Medicine, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences. In 14 years boys, conjoint epiphysis was in Stage 4 union in 4 subjects and Stage 5 union in 20 subjects. In 15 years boys, conjoint epiphysis was in Stage 4 union in 3 subjects and Stage 5 union in 22 subjects. In 14 years boys, medial epicondyle was in Stage 3 union in 21 subjects and Stage 5 union in 4 subjects. In 15 years boys, medial epicondyle was in Stage 3 union in 14 subjects and Stage 5 union in 9 subjects. In 14 years boys, proximal end of radius was in Stage 3 union in 14 subjects and Stage 5 union in 10 subjects. In 15 years boys, proximal end of radius was in Stage 3 union in 13 subjects and Stage 5 union in 8 subjects. In 14 years boys, proximal end of ulna was in Stage 3 union in 12 subjects and Stage 5 union in 10 subjects. In 15 years boys, proximal end of ulna was in Stage 3 union in 6 subjects and Stage 5 union in 9 subjects.
