Skeletal maturity in Pakistani children.
TLDR
For the proper evaluation of skeletal age in a given region, a longitudinal study on individuals in that region to establish normal standards is necessary.Abstract:
Skeletal maturity in 750 normal Pakistani children (400 males, 350 females) aged 1–18 y was determined by the Greulich–Pyle atlas system. Male children during first year and female children during first 2 y of life matured in conformity with Greulich–Pyle standards. After that period mean bone ages were lower than the American standards up to 15 y in males and 13 y in females (at or around puberty), which may be due to malnutrition, ill health or other environmental factors. After puberty bone ages were higher than the American standards indicating earlier maturity in Pakistani than Western children. Hence for the proper evaluation of skeletal age in a given region, a longitudinal study on individuals in that region to establish normal standards is necessary.read more

TL;DR: This review aims at exposing the experience of the authors working in the FASE subsection of IALM (International Academy of Legal Medicine) in the field of age estimation both on the dead and the living, at highlighting advantages and limits of each method, and suggesting practical solutions concerning the age estimation process for adults and subadults, dead and living, and pedopornographic material.

TL;DR: The combination of skeletal and dental age variables represented a significant improvement in the prediction of the chronological age of the subjects in this population, reducing the number of ethically unacceptable test errors to a minimum.

The impact of economic progress and modernization in medicine on the ossification of hand and wrist.
TL;DR: A regression analysis of age estimations of young living subjects found that a relatively high level of economic progress and modernization in medicine coincides with high ossification rates, while relatively low modernization seems to delay Ossification.

TL;DR: The Greulich and Pyle skeletal age atlas is not applicable to all children today, especially black girls, and patients should be aware of this information when making clinical decisions requiring accurate bone ages.

TL;DR: The age at radiographic appearance of postnatal ossification centers of 1,942 American Negro children proved to be advanced over the age at appearance in the same hand centers in 3,046 boys and girls of European ancestry, by approximately 0.5 standard deviations.

TL;DR: The work has revealed that there is no difference in the order of appearance of the carpal ossification centres from that commonly accepted for other races, and the fact that skeletal maturation is more rapid in girls than in boys has been confirmed.

A comparison between Greulich-Pyle and Tanner-Whitehouse assessments of skeletal maturity.
TL;DR: Bone-specific Greulich-Pyle and Tanner-Whitehouse assessments of skeletal age were made of 62 boys and 82 girls studied semilongitudinally from two to fourteen years and the median Tanner- Whitehouse skeletal ages were markedly greater than the corresponding chronological ages.
