“…In comparison, MRI measurements are more feasible than the measurements acquired during operation, and researchers may apply suitable standards (e.g., measuring the ACL width through the ACL fiber midpoint, tibial insertion and/or tibial footprint) to make the measurement more convenient. In previous studies that evaluated stage of closure of the proximal tibial physis was found in girls from the age of 11 to 13.5 years and in boys from the age of 12.5 to 14.5 years, [21] which is consistent with our observations. The determination of physeal closure in our study was equivalent to the stage IIIa/b that was designated by Kellinghaus et al [22] It was reflected in the disappearance or discontinuity of low signal shadow during the measurement process.…”

“…Secondly, this study did not strictly stipulate whether the measurement was performed on the left knee joint or the right knee joint. Previous research [ 21 ] revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in the development of the left and right knee joints, so data from both sides can be used for analysis. Thirdly, the accuracy of measurements on the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) image viewer can be easily affected.…”

There are many studies examining the dimensions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in children. The correlations between the ACL size in children and other parameters are not well understood. To detect the correlations between the ACL size in children and other parameters including age, gender, bone and soft tissue parameters through measurements on MRI images, and to establish prediction models for the ACL size. A total of 99 patients who underwent MRI scan were included (39 girls, 60 boys; mean age, 13.01 ± 3.94; range of age, 4 to 18). The following measurements were taken on MRI images by 2 observers: ACL length, ACL width, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) length, the distance from the most anterior aspect of the tibial epiphysis to the anterior aspect of the ACL tibial insertion (AATI), the distance from the most anterior aspect of the tibial epiphysis to the posterior aspect of the ACL tibial insertion (APTI), and the tibial anteroposterior diameter (AP). Correlations between these measurements and the patients’ gender and age were investigated, and univariate and multiple linear regression models were established accordingly. Before 13 years old, the ACL length was significantly correlated with the tibial anteroposterior diameter and age (R2 = 0.872, P < .001), and there were no statistically significant gender differences. After 13 years old, the ACL length was significantly correlated with the PCL length and APTI in males (R2 = 0.443, P < .001), and with the PCL length in females (R2 = 0.443, P < .001). In children under 13 years old, there was no significant gender difference in ACL length, and the tibial anteroposterior diameter and age were found to be important indicators in assessing the ACL size. After 13 years old, a significant gender difference in ACL length was observed, and the ACL length was found to be weakly correlated with age and bone parameters. In order to accurately evaluate the ACL size in children aged 13 years and above, it is necessary to refer to the dimensions of the ACL on the collateral side.

This study investigates the trends within the published research up to 2019 in relation to skeletal and dental age estimation in living individuals by using a novel bibliometric analysis which utilizes a specialist, open‐source R script. The analysis was performed on a total of 644 papers (627 articles, fifteen conference papers, and two reviews) retrieved using the online database Scopus. The analysis included an investigation of publication trends, authors’ affiliations, citation, Open Access publications, authors’ keywords, and index keywords. An additional investigation was conducted to study the relation between the methodologies developed and the specific populations that have been tested. The relation between imaging techniques and areas of the body used in these studies was also examined.
