“…It is worth noting that while there is no significant difference between the first set of age estimations and the second set as undertaken by the first observer, there is a slight increase in the R 2 value from the first to the second group females improved from R 2 = 0.939 to R 2 = 0.973 and males improved from R 2 = 0.940 to R 2 = 0.963, which may suggest that with experience the accuracy of age estimations increased for this practitioner. This agrees with the findings of Roche et al (56) who found that intra-observer reliability did increase slightly with practice and experience, a finding supported by other authors who found slight differences in accuracy between experienced and nonexperienced assessors (37,45).…”

“…Other studies have also found that the correlation between assessed age and chronological age is strong (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41). However despite this, many authors argue that the Greulich and Pyle atlas either should be applied with population-specific modifications (29,31,33,36,38,40,(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47) or should be combined with other age estimation techniques for increased accuracy (35,48). There are also a number of studies which find that the Greulich and Pyle atlas is inappropriate for use on the population that they studied (49)(50)(51)(52).…”

This study examines the reliability of age estimation utilizing the Greulich and Pyle atlas in relation to a modern Scottish population. A total of 406 left-hand/wrist radiographs (157 females and 249 males) were age-assessed using the Greulich and Pyle atlas. Analysis showed that there was a strong correlation between chronological age and estimated age (females R2 = 0.939, males R2 = 0.940). When age groups were broken down into year cohorts, the atlas over-aged females from birth until 13 years of age. The pattern for males showed that the atlas under-estimated age until 13 years of age after which point it consistently over-aged boys between 13 and 17 years of age. This study showed that the Greulich and Pyle atlas can be applied to a modern population but would recommend that any analysis takes into account the potential for over- and under-aging shown in this study.

“…The most recent studies in Europe appear to indicate that European Caucasians are close to the maturity rates marked by the GP and the TW2 system (Italy [12], Belgium [13], Holland [14], Finland [15], Denmark [16], Sweden [17], Spain [18], Austria [19]). In some cases, the differences from the original methods were small but so statistically significant that the need for specific tables and atlases has been proposed for these populations.…”

Assessments of skeletal maturity are usually made from handwrist radiographs, using either the method of Greulich-Pyle (GP) or Tanner-Whitehouse (TW). Recently the FELS method has been developed, and it represents a potentially valuable approach to skeletal age assessment. The present study evaluates the accuracy and precision of FELS skeletal age assessments compared with ratings by the GP and TW methods in a group of Italian children and adolescents. The hand-wrist radiographs of subjects (171 males and 156 females 1 to 17 years) referred to the "Istituto di Puericultura e Medicina Neonatale" of the University of Genoa in Italy between 1985 and 1990 were assessed according to each method. Two independent observers rated the radiographs and one observer reassessed them after 6 months or more. GP estimates rather closely match chronological age; TW ratings tend to overestimate chronological age by 7-9 months around puberty, mainly in boys; and the FELS method tends to overestimate chronological age by amounts that increase with chronological age. The degree of precision of skeletal age assessments is within the usually accepted limits. Higher levels of repeatability and reproducibility are apparent for the FELS estimates than for GP and TW assessments. Thus, skeletal maturity is likely to be adequately interpreted by the FELS method as well as by the more commonly used GP and TW systems in Italian children and adolescents. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
