A correlation analysis between histologic grade (HG) of iliac crest apophysis and skeletal age assessments. To study the correlation between HGs of iliac crest apophysis and the skeletal age of hand and wrist, digital skeletal age (DSA), and Risser sign in the girls with adolescent idiopathic scolio...
