Ossification in the sternum as a means of assessing skeletal age.
نویسنده
چکیده
The centres of ossification in the sternum were investigated to determine whether there was any correlation between ossification in the sternum and chronological age. But this proved to be of no value in assessing skeletal age, although it may be of use in assessing skeletal maturity for pathological or forensic purposes.

متن کاملRelationships between fetal body weight of Wistar rats at term and the extent of skeletal ossification.
We investigated the relationship between fetal body weight at term (pregnancy day 21) and the extent of ossification of sternum, metacarpus, metatarsus, phalanges (proximal, medial and distal) of fore- and hindlimbs and cervical and coccygeal vertebrae in Wistar rats. The relationships between fetal body weight and sex, intrauterine position, uterine horn, horn size, and litter size were determ...
متن کاملHeterotopic ossification in abdominal incisions
rare condition occuring after abdominal surgery which has involved, typically, a midline incision toward the xiphoid process above and the symphysis pubis below. It involves the formation of osseous, cartilaginous and occasionally myelogenous elements within an abdominal wound, and may be misinterpreted as a retained foreign body or incisional neoplastic recurrence (1-3). A few cases have been ...
