Hand skeletal features of children and adolescents with different growth statuses and periods
CONCLUSIONS: The epiphyseal symmetry of the proximal phalanges is poor in short stature children and adolescents, and the angle between the metacarpal and phalangeal axes is larger in children and adolescents with short stature than those with normal height and good growth status. A negative correlation was found between the epiphyseal symmetry of the proximal phalanges and asymmetrical stress.PMID:38545069 | PMC:PMC10963808 | DOI:10.21037/qims-23-26
