Abstract

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS The skeletal age of a child can be assessed by assigning to a radiograph of the left hand and wrist, the age at which the observed level of maturity was reached by a group of American children studied by Greulich and Pyle. An atlas, based on their findings, provided the standards by which Melbourne children were assessed. This report shows that these standards are applicable to Melbourne children aged 2 to 13 years and of British origin, and that for them no change in the age scale, as a correcting factor, is necessary.
