third, fourth, and fifth fingers
are now as wide as their
shafts.
19. Male 9 years
The distal ends of the
shafts of the second
and third proximal
phalanges have
become slightly
concave as their
trochlear surfaces begin
to differentiate.
20. Male 10 years
The epiphyses for the distal
phalanges of the second to
fifth fingers are all wider
than their shafts.
21. Male 11 years
The epiphysis of the
proximal phalanx of the
second finger is now as
wide as its shaft.
22. Male 11 years and 6 months
The capitate surface of the
scaphoid now slightly
overlaps the adjacent
portion of the capitate.
23. Male 12 years and 6 months
The epiphysis of the
proximal phalanges of the
3rd, 4th and 5th fingers and
of the middle phalanges of
the 2nd and 3rd fingers are
now as wide as their shafts.
24. Male 13 years

phalanx of the fifth finger is
now as wide as its shaft.
25. Male 13 years and 6 months
All of the proximal
epiphyses have begun to
cap their shafts.
37. Female 1 year
The epiphyses of the
second and third
metacarpals and the
epiphyses of the
proximal phalanges of
the second, third, and
fourth fingers now
contain small, recently
formed ossification
centers
42. Female 3 years

phalanges of the second, third,
and fourth fingers are now
slightly more than half as wide
as their shafts.

metacarpal adjacent to the
trapezoid is now slightly
concave.
48. Female 7 years and 10 months
The epiphysis of the proximal
phalanx of the thumb now
extends farther medially (I.e.,
toward the volar surface) than
does the corresponding border
of its shaft: it has now reached
the dorsal margin…the
epiphyses of the distal
phalanges of the 2nd-5th
fingers are shaping to the
trochlear surfaces of the
middle phalanges.

shafts.
51. Female 11 years

middle phalanges of the 2nd-5th
fingers and those of the distal
phalanges of the thumb and 2nd, 4th
and 5th fingers now cap their shafts.
52. Female 12 years

and its ulnar articular surface has
flattened.
53. Female 13 years
The epiphysis of the distal
phalanx of the thumb has begun
to fuse with its shaft.
