Introduction Why we need to learn how to estimate age ? So age can be determined by four main So age can be determined by four main

criteria:criteria: Teeth examination.Teeth examination. Secondary sexual characters Secondary sexual characters Ossification centers.Ossification centers. General development in childrenGeneral development in children Bone examinationBone examination

Page 3: Age determination   prof.enas

Stages of life and their main characteristics

Intrauterine life (during pregnancy) By ultra sonography and date of the last menstrual

period

From 0-15 days (neonatal period) By umbilical stump examination

From 15 days - 2 years(Infancy period) By primary dentition

Page 4: Age determination   prof.enas

From 2- 6 years Closure of metopic suture Appearance of ossific centers

From 6-12 years Secondary dentition

Childhood period:rapid dental and bony growth and development

Stages of life and their main characteristics

Page 5: Age determination   prof.enas

From 12- 18 (Adolescence period) Closure of epiphysial plates

Adulthood Early stage: bone remodeling and maintenance Late stage: bone wear and tear

Stages of life and their main characteristics

Appearance of ossific centers after birth

1 year : head of humerus ,femur and tibia . 2 years : lower radius and tibia. 3 years ; Patella. 4 years ; upper fibula ,greater trochanter of

femur. 5 years lower fibula 6 years ;head of radius ,lower

ulna.calcanium

Page 17: Age determination   prof.enas

Below1 year as ossific center of the head of femur not appeared.

Page 18: Age determination   prof.enas
Page 19: Age determination   prof.enas

Below 2 years (no ossific centre in the wrist)

Page 20: Age determination   prof.enas

Ossific centre at lower radius = 2 years

Page 21: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

> 1 year(ossific center at head of femur <4years no ossific center of greater trochanter

Page 22: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

Above 2 years. Ossific center of lower radius

Page 23: Age determination   prof.enas

Determination of age by bone examination - Sternum

Page 25: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

< 15 y (non-united segments)

Age from upper limb examination 1)At the wrist and shoulder joint (lower ends of

radius and ulna and head of the humerus)19-20 years.

2) At the elbow region: trochlea and capitulum (14 years)-trochlea and capitulum + lower end of the humerus (15years)

3)Lat.epicondyle and head of ulna(17 years). 4)Med epicondyles and the head of the radius

(18years) 5)Metacarpals and phalanges (16 y in females and

18 years in males).

Page 32: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

<17 y (completely developed elbow)

Page 33: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

>19 years (united head of humerus)

Page 34: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

<19 (not united head of humerus with the body)

Page 35: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

>20-21years ( closed lower ends of radius and ulna)

Page 36: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

< 20-21 ( non united lower ends of radius and ulna)

Page 37: Age determination   prof.enas

Less than18 ys

Page 38: Age determination   prof.enas

What is the age?

>2 years

<2 y (no ossifc center of ulna

<,18 y in female < 18 in males

Determination of age by bone examination – Epiphyseal closure

Page 42: Age determination   prof.enas

Age from lower limb examination

1) Lesser trochanter (16y)-----Greater trochanter (17y) ------ Head of the femur (18y).

2) Lower end of the femur + shaft (21y). 3) Upper end of the tibia +shaft (21y). 4) Lower end of the tibia +shaft (18 y). By foot examination ossific center appears at

calcanium at 6 years and union of epiphysis at the calcanium at 14 years ,so examining only this bone gives us a range of 8 years

What is the age?

>18 years (united head of femur)
