Skeletal Age Status Determination Using the Spheno‐Occipital Synchondrosis Closure in a Cameroonian Population: An Analytical Study

Abstract

SOS closure in our study was as from the mean age of 23.5 years. SOS closure is linked to age in our study with a progressive increase in closure stage with age. SOS Stage 1 mean age of closure was at 4.8 years followed by 12.9 years then 19.9 years, 23.5 and finally 28.6 years at Stage 5, respectively. With respect to sex, there was no difference in SOS closure between males and females in all stages but Stage 1 in our study.
