Assessment of skeletal age in the first year of life on basis of the caput humeri ossification centres.
A new procedure has been worked out to estimate skeletal maturity in infancy. The size of the caput humeri ossification centres was determined with the help of a pattern set from the antero-posterior chest roentgenogram. In each month of the first year of life 100 examinations were carried out and from their data percentile lines were constructed for every month of life.
