its value (x ray of bones for osseous growth

A

1.normal bone age corresponds to the age of the child
2.markedly delayed bone age: —- endocrinal deficiencies

Q

Very Important Background about growth charts

A

There is a wide range of variations among normal children of the same age.
Each child has his own inherited pattern of growth.

60
Q

growth curves are essential to

A
  1. Demonstrate the normal growth variations
    2.Summarize the growth data so earlier diagnosis of abnormal growth.
