Correlation and comparison of Risser sign versus bone age determination between children with and without scoliosis in Korean population
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 09/23/09
Modi HN et al. – The results showed that chronological age is equally as reliable as skeletal age method to compare with Risser sign, and therefore, the authors do not mean to imply that only the Risser sign compared with skeletal age should be considered in the decision making in idiopathic as well as non–scoliosis patients of Korean ethnicity. Concomitant indicators such as menarchal period, secondary sex characteristics, and recent growth pattern will likely reinforce the data comparing Risser sign with skeletal age in decision making.
