Abstract: AnnotationsHow to make the most of bone ages Bone age estimations used correctly are a valuable adjunct in clinical paediatrics.Many paediatricians do not, however, recognise that reported bone age values may be inappropriately estimated and inaccurate.It is natural to accept without question the typed report of a radiologist, as one would other laboratory pathological results, and to use this information uncritically.Yet such reports may not only be inaccurate but positively misleading, and a clinical judgment would be better without them.
