Radiological assessment of age of adolescents from wrist joint: A prospective study of 151 cases
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
It is a prospective, radiological study of age assessment of 151 cases of young adolescents (Boy = 70; Girl = 81) in the age range of 14-17 years by taking A-P view X-rays of their right wrist including hands. This study had resulted in considerable narrowing of the range of radiological age assessed using the X-ray of the hand, from 15 years – 19 years to 14 years – 17 years in both boys and girls. Our finding was also consistent with the age from the available date of birth certificates of these students.
