“…This microscopic study confirmed the results of our previous Xray study [42] and supports the existence of several types of ossification patterns in human costal cartilages. Our results show that peripheral ossification pattern can be considered as a finding which is specific for male sex, while central lingual ossification pattern determines female sex.…”

“…The aim of our study was to learn about and describe the progress of ossification and other changes accompanying the aging of costal cartilages, and to determine whether it is possible to recognize and distinguish the sex-specific ossification patterns confirmed in our X-ray study at the microscopic level as well [41,42].…”

“…In both sexes, ossification in the costal cartilages begins in the second decade, earlier than in other hyaline cartilages (Rejtarová et al, 2009). It has long been recognized (e.g.…”

“…Fischer, 1955) that, other than at the first rib (McCormick & Stewart, 1988), the pattern of ossification of the costal cartilages differs between the sexes and this was why separate ageing standards were devised for men and women. At the costochondral junction, males tend to begin ossification at the superior and inferior margins, whereas females tend to start ossification by bone projecting centrally into the cartilage (Navani et al, 1970;Rejtarová et al, 2009). The sex difference may be mediated by hormonal factors.…”

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : While developed countries do age estimation for the purpose of identification, in countries such as Turkey, it is used to determine the real age of a person with an already known identity because of inaccurate birth records. The aim of this article was to investigate whether the calcification degree of the first costal cartilage could be a marker for age determination. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : We retrospectively analyzed the postero-anterior chest x-rays of 471 patients (270 males, 201 females; mean age ± standard deviation 42.38±20.69 years) who presented to the radiology department for various reasons. The calcification degree of the right first costal cartilage was classified in four stages based on criteria used by Barchilon and Garamendi, and the patients were classified in seven groups regarding their ages. The correlation between the calcification stage of the right first costal cartilages and age group was analyzed by Spearman's rho. R Re e--s su ul lt ts s: : According to the first costal cartilage calcification stage, the mean ages were 5.56, 25.49, 45.39 and 66.02 at stage 0, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The calcification degree of the right first costal cartilage and age correlated significantly in males and females [Spearman's rho=0.904, p<0.001 (0.924, p<0.001 in males and 0.864, p<0.001 in females)]. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Although there are overlaps among age groups, the assessment of the calcification degree of the first costal cartilage on chest x-rays may be useful to predict the bone age. This age determination method can be used in criminal courts and forensic anthropology as a contributory technique.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Forensic medicine; radiography; thorax; age groups Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Yaş tespiti, gelişmiş ülkelerde kimlik tayini maksadıyla yapılsa da, Türkiye gibi bazı ülkelerde, güvenilir olmayan nüfus kayıtları nedeniyle kimlik tayininden ziyade kimliği bilinen kişilerin gerçek yaşlarının tespiti için yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, birinci kosta kıkırdağının kalsifikasyon derecesinin yaş tayininde kullanılıp kullanılamayacağını araştırmaktır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Çeşitli nedenlerle postero-anterior göğüs radyografisi ile değerlendirilen 471 hastanın (270 erkek, 201 kadın; ortalama yaş±standart sapma 42,38±20,69 yıl) grafileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Birinci sağ kosta kıkırdağının kalsifikasyon derecesi, Barchilon ve Garamendi tarafından kullanıldığı şekilde dört grupta sınıflandırıldı ve hastalar, yaşlarına göre yedi gruba ayrıldı. Birinci sağ kosta kıkırdağının kalsifikasyon derecesi ile hastaların yaşları arasındaki ilgileşim, Spearman'ın rho katsayısı ile değerlendirildi.
