Time of appearance of ossification centers in carpal bones: A radiological retrospective study on Saudi children

OBJECTIVES: To find reference data for the time of appearance of ossification centers in carpal bones and the lower ends of the radius and ulna in the Saudi population. In addition, to check the sequence of appearance of carpal bones and the relation of this sequence to the appearance of distal epip...

description OBJECTIVES: To find reference data for the time of appearance of ossification centers in carpal bones and the lower ends of the radius and ulna in the Saudi population. In addition, to check the sequence of appearance of carpal bones and the relation of this sequence to the appearance of distal epiphyses of the radius and ulna. METHODS: A retrospective radiological study was carried out between 2012 to 2020 at King Fahad Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. A sample of 279 hand/wrist plain radiographs of Saudi children was analyzed. RESULTS: The first bones at the wrist region to appear in Saudi children are the capitate, hamate, and distal epiphysis of the radius, and these appear during the first year of life. The other bones develop subsequently at yearly intervals, and the last one to appear is the pisiform, which arises at the end of the first decade of life. CONCLUSION: The sequence of appearance of carpal bones in the Saudi population is similar to what is described in the literature. However, the time of appearance of some of these bones is earlier than that in other populations.
