BACKGROUND
To guarantee equal chances for participants in U-20 football tournaments, it seems desirable to verify the ages given by players with questionable dates of birth.
OBJECTIVE
To study the potential use of 3.0 tesla MRI of the clavicle in estimating the ages of U-20 football players.
METHODS
The ossification stage of the medial clavicular epiphyses was evaluated prospectively in 152 male footballers in the age group from 18 to 22 years using 3.0 tesla MRI.
RESULTS
Average age increased with any higher degree of fusion. The only footballer with full ossification of the medial clavicular epiphyseal plate was 21.2 years old.
CONCLUSIONS
The presence of a fully ossified clavicular epiphyseal plate appears to provide evidence of completion of the 20th year of life. The results of the pilot study need to be verified in a larger number of cases.
背景
为确保20岁以下足球锦标赛参与者有平等机会，核实出生日期存疑球员所报年龄似乎很有必要。
目的
研究3.0特斯拉锁骨磁共振成像（MRI）在估算20岁以下足球运动员年龄方面的潜在用途。
方法
使用3.0特斯拉MRI对152名年龄在18至22岁的男性足球运动员的锁骨内侧骨骺骨化阶段进行前瞻性评估。
结果
融合程度越高，平均年龄越大。锁骨内侧骨骺板完全骨化的唯一一名足球运动员年龄为21.2岁。
结论
锁骨骨骺板完全骨化似乎可作为已年满20岁的证据。该初步研究结果需在更多病例中得到验证。
