Extensive work on the determination of age of epiphyseal union has been carried out in different states of India as well as abroad, and from the findings of different workers, it is evident that there are not only differences in the age of epiphyseal union in India and abroad but also in the different states of India. The present study has been conducted on 100 candidates of Mewar region of Rajasthan who were in the age group of 14-20 years of either sex. They were clinically examined and their wrist, elbow & Pelvis were x-rayed to know the different stages of epiphyseal union according to their actual age which was verified by birth certificate or school records. The study showed that epiphyseal union takes place almost at the same age in females and little later in males. The union in females occur earlier by about 1 year to two years as a whole. No difference in the socio-economic denominator has been found.Keywords

Estimation of age of an individual is a necessity for the law enforcement agencies in both civil and criminal matters more so in country like ours, since illiteracy is a common feature findings. Various workers suggest that there is variation in age estimation, not only in country to country but also in different states of India. Survey Committee appointed by Central Government recommended for a Zone wise study7. Appearance and fusion of different ossification centres with their corresponding bones has been proved to be a very good and reliable tool for this purpose. This study involves radiological examination of hip joint (AP view) of 165 individuals for the study of age related appearances and fusion of ossification centres of lesser and greater trochanter and the head of the femur in the age group of 12-20 years of both male and female in S.P.
