A member asked:
Do bone ages of the leg and torso plates have to be the same bone age of your hands or can they vary? example: hand bone age is 17, but leg age is 15.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand is the standard: Over many decades growth studies have relied on the evaluation of hand x-rays because there are so many growth plates available for study. From the 8 wrist bones to each component of fingers & palm films were correlated with chronological age to determine who is behind/average/advanced toward the end of growth. Uniformity with other body sites is the norm. Don't expect growth when hands say no.
