Article Synopsis
- Age estimation is crucial in legal contexts for identifying individuals, but research on shoulder joint development is limited compared to other methods like hand and dental evaluations.
- A study analyzed 283 shoulder X-rays from Egyptians to evaluate the effectiveness of two scoring systems in predicting chronological age based on shoulder bone maturation.
- The findings revealed a strong correlation between chronological age and shoulder maturation, with a specific model showing high accuracy for predicting ages 8-20, making it a valuable tool when other age assessment methods are inconclusive.*
