Modified Greulich-Pyle (GP), Tanner et al. 2, radius, ulna and short bones (TW2-RUS), TW2-20-bone and Roche-Wainer-Thissen RWT (knee) skeletal age assessments were made in an Italian population sample of 128 males and 93 females aged 4.1-16.9 years. All the scales appear to be well-suited to the Italian population despite minor differences. A very high correlation was found between the assessment of knee skeletal ages by the RWT method and that of the hand-wrist by the GP and TW2 systems in the same subject without sex and age-associated variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
