The assessment of an individual's development by investigating the skeletal maturity is of much use in various medical fields. Skeletal maturity can be estimated by evaluating the morphology of the cervical vertebrae. The aim of this study was to conduct comparisons of the chronological age in different bone development stages. The retrospective study was conducted based on lateral cephalometric radiographs belonging to patients with ages between 6 and 15.9 years, from Romania. For the assessment of skeletal maturity, the Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM) method was used. In total, 356 radiographs were selected, but after applying the exclusion criteria, 252 radiographs remained in the study (178 girls and 74 boys). Different mean chronological age values were obtained for the general sample, as well as for the two genders. The chronological age started to be significantly different at the CS4 stage. Patients with CS4, CS5, and CS6 stages had a significantly higher chronological age compared to patients with CS1, CS2, and CS3 stages. It was noted that patients with CS1 and CS2 stages were more frequently boys, while patients with the CS5 stage were more frequently girls.
通过研究骨骼成熟度来评估个体发育在各个医学领域都非常有用。骨骼成熟度可以通过评估颈椎形态来估计。本研究的目的是比较不同骨骼发育阶段的实际年龄。这项回顾性研究基于来自罗马尼亚的6至15.9岁患者的头颅侧位X线片进行。为了评估骨骼成熟度，采用了颈椎成熟度（CVM）方法。总共选择了356张X线片，但在应用排除标准后，研究中保留了252张X线片（178名女孩和74名男孩）。总体样本以及两种性别的实际年龄均值不同。实际年龄在CS4阶段开始出现显著差异。与CS1、CS2和CS3阶段的患者相比，CS4、CS5和CS6阶段的患者实际年龄显著更高。值得注意的是，CS1和CS2阶段的患者男孩更为常见，而CS5阶段的患者女孩更为常见。
