Bone age in XXXX with @entity306 .

@entity1 @entity1158 @entity16250 @entity306
@entity1 with @entity306 may develop differences in limb length; when severe, limb length equalization may be recommended. Serial bone ages are necessary to predict when to perform equalization procedures. By convention, the left hand is always used to determine bone age. There is little information regarding the effect of @entity1158 on bone age. It was postulated that @entity1 with left @entity1158 will show a delay in bone age compared with those with right @entity1158 , and it was the purpose of this study to review this question. A retrospective review of 38 @entity1 (27 @entity1 , 11 @entity1 ) with @entity306 between 1980 and 2000 was performed. The @entity1158 involved the right side in 21 and the left side in 17. The hand-wrist bone age was determined by one observer using the Greulich and @entity16250 . The paired t test was used to analyze for differences between bone age and chronologic age. There was no difference between the average chronologic age (12.0+/-3.5 years) and average bone age (12.0+/-3.7 years) (P=0.83). There was no difference between the chronologic and bone age for either those with right @entity1158 (P=0.65) or left @entity1158 (P=0.87). It is not necessary to obtain radiographs of both hands in @entity1 with @entity1158 during routine monitoring of limb length discrepancies.
