The skeletal development of laboratory-bred owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) ranging from 37 days to 58 months of age was examined radiographically. Femoral length, time of epiphyseal ossification, and fusion of various ossification centers were studied. Chronologic age can be predicted by femoral length determination up to 18 months. Initial ossification of calcaneal, tibial tuberosity, iliac crest, and ischial apophyses occurs between 5.5 and 14 months. Fusion of various secondary ossification centers allows age determination from 7.5 months to 58 months.
对37日龄至58月龄的实验室饲养夜猴（Aotus trivirgatus）的骨骼发育进行了X线检查。研究了股骨长度、骨骺骨化时间以及各个骨化中心的融合情况。通过测定股骨长度可预测18个月龄以内的实际年龄。跟骨、胫骨结节、髂嵴和坐骨支的初始骨化发生在5.5至14个月之间。通过各个二级骨化中心的融合情况可确定7.5个月至58个月的年龄。
