In order to verify the concordance of the bone development indices (SMI) estimated on the hand and fist radiograph by the method of Fishman (1982) and the indices of development of the cervical vertebrae (CVMS), estimated on the profile teleradiography by the method of Baccetti (2002), was conducted a cross-sectional study on a group of 150 subjects (89 girls and 61 boys), aged 8-18 years. Based on the existing data in the literature and taking into account the average ages at which the SMI and CVMS stages were reached in the research group, a hypothesis of correspondence between SMI and CVMS stages in the pubertal stages was issued and this hypothesis was statistically verified using the coefficient Cohen k. The obtained results (k = 0.82 for the girls 'group and k = 0.67 for the boys' group) confirm the concordance of the SMI and CVMS indices within the researched group and validate the correspondence hypothesis issued.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
