Abstract
Our results show the cross-racial differences between the skeletal growth patterns of Asian and Hispanic children and skeletal growth patterns of white and African American children. PurposeTo collect up-to-date data in healthy children to create a digital hand atlas (DHA) that can be used to evaluate, on the basis of the Greulich and Pyle atlas method, racial differences in sk...Keywords
