[Current validation of the Greulich and Pyle atlas for the determination of skeletal age].
The radiological atlas of Greulich and Pyle published in 1959 has been validated for the modern measurement of skeletal development in a population of white school-age children from Rotterdam. This is a useful study result. Although contemporary children grow to become much taller than in previous generations, this increased growth potential is apparently realised within the same time span.
