چکیده

Objectives: to investigate whether or not the greulich- pyle method is sufficient for kurdish children for determination of the skeletal age. methodology: the study group consisted of 228 children (126 girls, 102 boys), with a mean age of 10 years. these radiographs were analyzed by two radiologists who were unaware of the age of the children. results: mean bone ages were delayed by 2 to 21.6 months when compared to the mean chronological ages in boys aged 7 to 14 years. mean bone ages were delayed by 6.6 to 11.9 months when compared to the mean chronological ages in girls aged 7 to 9 years and advanced by 2 to 12.2 months in girls aged 10 to 14 years. conclusions: the results suggest that kurdish children may have a different pattern of skeletal maturation from that of american children from which the greulich-pyle standards is derived.
