Hand skeletal features of children and adolescents with different growth statuses and periods.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The hand skeletal features of children and adolescents at different growth statuses and development periods, and the correlation between these skeletal features and hand asymmetric force are currently unclear. Thus, this study sought to investigate the hand skeletal features of children and adolescents at different growth statuses and at different periods of development, and the correlation between these skeletal features and asymmetric force in hands.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed on subjects aged 4-20 years with good growth status (group A) or short stature (group B). Additional subjects aged 4-20, 21-40, and >40 years were enrolled in groups C, D, and E, respectively. All the subjects underwent left-hand posteroanterior X-ray radiography. Brachyme
