Overview
An X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of delayed puberty. Findings on an X-ray are specific to measuring bone age. Bone age may be used to predict the children final adult height. Studies have shown that there is strong association between bone age and the initiation of puberty in boys involved in developmental disorders. If the difference between measured bone age and chronological age is more than 2 years, it will strongly diagnostic of constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP).

An X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of delayed puberty. Findings on an X-ray are specific to measuring bone age. Bone age may be used to predict the children final adult height.
It is on the first line evaluations of the patient with suspicious delayed puberty.
Bone age
- Studies have shown that there is strong association between bone age and the initiation of puberty in boys involved in developmental disorders.[1][2]
- The researches suggested that skeletal maturation and hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis maturation rates are relevant to each other. Delayed puberty is related to the skeletal maturation delay, that can be caused by various diseases, such as chronic diseases[3], malnutrition[4], hypothyroidism[5], constitutional delay of growth[6], and growth hormone (GH) deficiency[7].
- For measuring bone age by means of X-ray, the left hand and wrist have to be studied. Greulich and Pyle Atlas may be used to interpret the findings.[8][9]
- If the difference between measured bone age and chronological age is more than 2 years, it will strongly diagnostic of constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP).
- If the bone age shows the 4 years delay, it may reflect a 8 cm more final adult height in patient. Final adult height can be concluded through Bayley-Pinneau tables.[10][11]
