Various studies conducted in and outside India for estimation of age from long bone joints revealed that unlike other vital parameters no uniform pattern exists for epiphyseal union of long bones in different countries of the world and also in different parts of the same country. A radiological study was conducted in 180 boys and girls of the capital city of India, Delhi, between the age group of 14-20 years to find out the age at which epiphyseal union at wrist and ankle joint takes place. The result of the study showed that the wrist joint epiphyseal union is completed in all cases in the age group of 19-20 years in males and 18-19 years in females. In the ankle joint, 17-18 years was the age group in males and 16-17 years the age group in females which showed complete epiphyseal union in all cases.
印度国内外开展的多项通过长骨关节估算年龄的研究表明，与其他重要参数不同，世界上不同国家以及同一国家的不同地区，长骨的骨骺愈合不存在统一模式。对印度首都德里180名年龄在14至20岁之间的男孩和女孩进行了一项放射学研究，以确定手腕和踝关节骨骺愈合发生的年龄。研究结果显示，男性在19至20岁年龄组、女性在18至19岁年龄组时，所有病例的腕关节骨骺愈合均已完成。在踝关节，男性的年龄组为17至18岁，女性的年龄组为16至17岁，所有病例均显示骨骺完全愈合。
