Assessment of age in adolescents by Radiological examination of pelvis & hip joint
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Age estimation is an important exercise undertaken in clinical forensic medicine for various civil & criminal purposes. In developing country like India, paucity of reliable documentary evidences like birth certificate, board certificates makes this job even more important. Non availability of reliable local data for estimation of age is an incriminating factor for miscarriage of justice. Hence this study was undertaken to assess the age of adolescents by radiography.
