Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
The present work was undertaken to find out the age of union of epiphysis at the upper end of Radius in males and females. A radiological study was conducted on 100 males and females, in the age group of 13-22 years, residing in Davanagere, Karnataka, India. Radiographs of upper end of Radius (elbow) of both sides were taken and progress of fusion was studied and recorded. There was no difference in the findings of epiphyseal union at the upper ends of Radius of the two sides. In general, the fusion of epiphysis occurs 1-2 or 2-3 years earlier in females as compared to males. From these radiographs age of union of epiphysis at upper end of Radius is determined and compared with the other authors from other states of India and also with other countries and found to vary appreciably.
