    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric radiology
    • Orthodontics
    • Developmental biology

    Background:

    • Skeletal age determination is vital for diagnosing growth-related issues in children.
    • It serves as an objective measure of a child's growth and developmental stage.
    • Familiarity with current bone age assessment methods is essential for clinicians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of established methods for estimating skeletal age in pediatric patients.
    • To highlight the importance of bone age assessment in clinical practice.
    • To familiarize readers with techniques applicable to different age groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Lateral X-ray of the left lower leg (including knee and foot) for newborns and infants.
    • X-ray of the left hand for children older than three months.

  • Review of specific bone age assessment methods: v. Harnack (lower leg), Greulich-Pyle, Tanner-Whitehouse, and de Roo and Schröder (hand).

    • Main Results:

    • Different radiographic approaches are used for skeletal age assessment based on patient age.
    • Established methods like Greulich-Pyle and Tanner-Whitehouse are commonly applied to hand X-rays.
    • The v. Harnack method is utilized for lower leg assessments in younger children.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate skeletal age determination is fundamental for pediatric diagnostics and growth monitoring.
    • The choice of radiographic view (lower leg vs. hand) depends on the child's age.
    • Clinicians should be proficient in multiple bone age assessment techniques to ensure objective evaluation.
