CONT

L’âge squelettique désigne la maturité du squelette telle que déterminée par le degré d’ossification du système osseux. Cette mesure de l’âge tient compte du degré de maturation des os, non pas par rapport à leur taille mais par rapport à leur forme et à leur position les uns par rapport aux autres.
