2102 roentgenograms of the left manus bones from both sexes subjects with normal health status aged up to 18 were studied to detect peculiarities of skeleton maturity of St. Petersburg inhabitants. TW-2 modified Tanner-Whitehouse method was used. It was demonstrated that children living in St. Petersburg are characterized with the excess of skeletal age over chronological one almost in all age groups, which is maximum typically during first years and minimum by the end of puberty. The process of bone maturity is not successive. Highest growth rate of skeletal maturity were found in prepubescent and puberty. Sex differences established are also noted. Girls were above boys in skeletal age at 7, 8, 9 and 10 years.
对年龄在18岁以下健康状况正常的男女受试者的2102张左手骨骼X线片进行了研究，以检测圣彼得堡居民骨骼成熟的特点。采用了TW-2改良的坦纳-怀特豪斯方法。结果表明，几乎在所有年龄组中，生活在圣彼得堡的儿童骨骼年龄超过实际年龄，这在最初几年最为明显，在青春期结束时最小。骨骼成熟过程不是连续的。在青春期前和青春期发现骨骼成熟的最高增长率。还注意到了性别差异。在7、8、9和10岁时，女孩的骨骼年龄高于男孩。
