Stability of Metacarpal II dimensions in boys during adolescence
Abstract
The stability of radiogrammetrically determined Metacarpal II (M II) bone dimensions was determined in 184 Belgian boys between 13 and 18 years of age. Stability was assessed by Fisher z transformations of Pearson correlations between discrete measurement intervals and by structured covariance analysis incorporating compound, banded, and autoregressive models. Adjacent-age stability (1-year measurement interval) was high (0.82 ⩽ r ⩽ 0.97) for …
