Background/aim: This study aims to compare the Greulich-Pyle (GP) and Tanner-Whitehouse 2 (TW2) methods, both used in left wrist radiography for bone age determination in the pediatric age group, with the Capitohamatum method (CH) due to the importance of determining bone age in the pediatric period.

Materials And Methods: Direct radiographs of 210 female and 291 male individuals between the ages of 0-15 without any pathology in the left wrist bones were obtained; 501 os capitatum and os hamatum on anterior-to-posterior direct graphic images were measured using the GP, TW2, and CH planimetry methods. The estimated age of each measurement was calculated by evaluating the relationship between chronological age and sex.
