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.

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.
