Skeletal Maturity in Myelomeningocele
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2003A retrospective analysis of 90 patients (37 boys, 53 girls) with myelomeningocele was performed to determine the relationship between gender, presence of hydrocephalus, and level of myelomeningocele with skeletal maturity, as measured by bone age. Bone age was assessed using the Oxford method of skeletal maturity.

Approach to Skeletal Maturation
Hand Clinics, 1991Skeletal maturation is marked by an orderly and reproducible sequence of recognizable changes in the appearance of the skeleton during childhood. Such changes include the timing and sequence of the appearance of the centers of ossification, specific alterations in the contours of the bones, and the timing and sequence of the ultimate closure of the ...

The Assessment of Skeletal Maturation
Hormone Research, 2008The measurement of skeletal maturity is important for the analysis of growth and growth disorders. Several methods are available for the assessment of skeletal age. They are all based on the recognition of maturity indicators, that is, of changes in the radiographic appearance of hand-wrist bones.

Effect of hemiplegia on skeletal maturation
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1994Children with cerebral palsy have been reported to have poor growth and delayed skeletal maturation, but it is unclear whether these effects are related to the underlying brain injury or to concomitant malnutrition. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of hemiplegic cerebral palsy on skeletal maturation and growth, with the unaffected side ...

Skeletal maturation and craniofacial growth
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1990The purpose of this study was to assess the relevance of hand-wrist radiographs to craniofacial growth and clinical orthodontics. Serial annual cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs and standing height measurements were obtained from a sample of 47 girls (ages 10 through 15 years) and 39 boys (ages 11 through 16 years) from the Bolton-Brush data ...

Skeletal maturation in Australian Aborigines
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 1976Brown, T. and Grave, K.C. (1976). Aust. paediat. J., 12, 24–30. Skeletal maturation in Australian Aborigines. Skeletal ages of Aboriginal children living on a Commonwealth Government settlement at Yuendumu, in the Northern Territory, were assessed by rating standardized radiographs of the hand and wrist according to the Greulich‐Pyle atlas. On average,

On determining a signature for skeletal maturity
Proceedings XIV Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing, 2002We present a computational framework for semi-automated assessment of skeletal age based on a multi-scale image analysis approach. Through 2D digital X-ray images of the left hand, maturity indicators are searched by means of a two-step process: the user interactively indicates a point inside the middle finger, and the computational method analyzes the

Skeletal maturation in obese patients
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2012The objective of this study was to compare skeletal maturation in obese patients and in subjects of normal weight to evaluate the best timing for orthopedic and orthodontic treatment. The null hypothesis was that obese and normal-weight patients show similar degrees of skeletal maturation.The sample for this retrospective study consisted of 50 white ...

Growth Beyond Skeletal Maturity
Spine, 1992Serial measurements of standing and sitting height of children show that growth continues beyond the age of skeletal maturity when judged by the fusion of the epiphyses of the hand and wrist. Most of this increase occurs in the sitting height, largely reflecting spinal growth, and may account for the known progression potential of idiopathic scoliosis ...

Skeletal maturation of Indian children
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1970The skeletal maturation of 486 children from birth to 6 years of age has been assessed by studying the radiographs of both the hands and the wrists. It was observed that the skeletal development was more advanced in girls than in boys. There was no difference in the sequence of appearance of ossification centres as compared to that given by other ...
