Assessment of Age of Epiphyseal Union Around Pelvis in Maharashtra
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Age of union of epiphysis is an important objective method of age determination which is a difficult task for medico-legal person. However, this age varies with racial, geographic, climatic and various other factors. Because of this, many authors suggested need of separate standards of ossification for separate region. As no such standards were available for Maharashtra, present study aimed to study ages of epiphyseal union around pelvis, a rarely studied region. Present study was a cross sectional study. It was performed in total 400 healthy subjects having ages from 13 to 23 years and length of residence in Maharashtra more than 10 years. Chronological age upto the day of examination was determined and A-P view of pelvis was taken in each case. Age of union of epiphyses of iliac crest, ischial tuberosity, head of femur and greater trochanter was determined using criteria of union and compared with the other authors from other states of India and also with other countries and found to vary appreciably.
