Modified Greulich-Pyle (GP), Tanner et al. 2, radius, ulna and short bones (TW2-RUS), TW2-20-bone and Roche-Wainer-Thissen RWT (knee) skeletal age assessments were made in an Italian population sample of 128 males and 93 females aged 4.1-16.9 years. All the scales appear to be well-suited to the Italian population despite minor differences. A very high correlation was found between the assessment of knee skeletal ages by the RWT method and that of the hand-wrist by the GP and TW2 systems in the same subject without sex and age-associated variations.

Abstract
Modified Greulich-Pyle (GP), Tanner et al. 2, radius, ulna and short bones (TW2-RUS), TW2-20-bone and Roche-Wainer-Thissen RWT (knee) skeletal age assessments were made in an Italian population sample of 128 males and 93 females aged 4.1-16.9 years. All the scales appear to be well-suited to the Italian population despite minor differences. A very high correlation was found between the assessment of knee skeletal ages by the RWT method and that of the hand-wrist by the GP and TW2 systems in the same subject without sex and age-associated variations.
