Description
Ankit Kumar and co-authors read wrist X-rays to judge age in north India in a 2026 study. Courts and clinics often need an age when birth proof is lost or in doubt. Bone growth at the wrist gives clues for teens and young adults.
The team read 174 X-rays of people aged 14 to 24 at a trauma center in Lucknow. Men made up about two in three of the group. Growth stages were scored joint by joint. Growth speed can shift by place and stock, so local norms count. The set adds India-based norms that can make age calls in court and clinic more fair.
