Radiographic measurements of metacarpophalangeal lengths in Japanese children.
The lengths of 19 tubular bones of the hand were measured on radiographs of 1,585 Japanese children aged 0 to 17 years. The means and standard deviations related to age and sex were calculated and presented in tables. Using the standards, examples of the metacarpophalangeal pattern profile analysis are presented.
