How to measure children's bone age

Bone age is measured by taking an X-ray of the left wrist and comparing it with a bone age map. The results can be obtained by comparing the number of bones developed in the hand and wrist and the degree of maturity. If the difference between the results of the X-ray and the map of the child is within one year, it is within the normal range. Because bone age has a certain stability in predicting height or body, bone age is more accurate than actual age to judge body maturity. Because the growth and development of human bones are basically similar, the assessment of bone age can more accurately reflect the growth and maturity of individuals.
