In 23 hypothyroid children--15 girls and 8 boys--all of them receiving continuous substitution therapy, skeletal maturity was evaluated by use of a specific point system. The examination of 106 X-rays of the left hand revealed a clear-cut carpal retardation more than that of RUS (radius, ulna, short bones) in both sexes. It could be demonstrated a higher stage of development for RUS than carpal bone maturity in relation to height, independent of duration of therapy. A closer correspondence between RUS development and height may be assumed.
在23名接受持续替代治疗的甲状腺功能减退儿童中（15名女孩和8名男孩），使用特定的评分系统评估骨骼成熟度。对106张左手X线片的检查显示，两性的腕骨发育明显滞后，超过了桡尺短骨（RUS）。可以证明，相对于身高而言，RUS的发育阶段高于腕骨成熟度，且与治疗持续时间无关。可以假定RUS发育与身高之间存在更密切的对应关系。
