“…In our study, the minimum age of complete synchondrosis ossification was 7 years in males and 8 years in females. These findings fall within the age ranges reported by Karwacki et al [ 11 ] and are similar to that observed by Wu et al [ 24 ].…”

“…The sample size in our study is smaller than those reported in other studies [11,[23][24][25]31]. This small sample size is related to the scarcity of cases undergoing postmortem examinations in this age group at our Forensic Medicine Department.…”

“…Complete ossification of the anterior arch of the atlas was reported by Karwacki et al [ 11 ] in children aged approximately 12 years, and is generally observed between 4.5 and 17 years of age. Wu et al [ 24 ] noticed that complete closed Ant Arch synchondrosis observed at a median age of 8 years in males and 6.3 years in females. In our study, the minimum age of complete synchondrosis ossification was 7 years in males and 8 years in females.…”

This article is a retrospective analysis of postmortem computed tomography scans of ossification stages of the anterior and posterior intra-occipital sutures, the anterior arch of the atlas, and the neurocentral junction of the axis. We also analyzed the development of secondary ossification centers in the proximal humeral, femoral, and tibial epiphyses, and the distal femoral and tibial epiphyses. Additionally, the development of primary ossification centers in the wrist and metacarpals, and maxillary and mandibular deciduous tooth maturation. A total of 58 cadavers (35 males, 23 females), whose age ranged from 3rd month of pregnancy to 14 years, were analyzed. The results of this study show that analysis of synchondrosis closure, primary, and secondary ossification center development and deciduous tooth changes are a good tool for age estimation in subadults group (fetuses, newborns, infants, and children). The results of the study in a Polish population are consistent with those reported by other authors.
