Abstract

Among many maturation indicators of growing patients, menarche and skeletal maturity are useful to assess growth and development, and the changes of the first and third finger are relatively important in hand-wrist X-rays. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between menarche and the changes of the phalanx of the first and third finger and compare skeletal maturation among different malocclusion types. The sample used in this study was 29 Class 1,27 Class II and 27 Class III females whose hand-wrist X-rays had been taken with 6 month interval before the appearance of ulnar sesamoid ossification till the phalanges of the fingers were almost fused. The results were as follows. 1. There was no skeletal maturity difference among malocclusion types. 2. There was no difference in the mean chronologic age of menarche among different malocclusion types and that was $12.30\pm0.98$ years. 3. The ulnar sesamoid was observed at $10.35\pm1.01$ years, and on distal phalanx of the first finger, epiphyseal capping appeared at $11.26\pm1.04$ years and fusion at $13.12\pm1.06$ years. The epiphyseal capping on middle phalanx of the third finger was observed at $11.57\pm1.02$ years and fusion at $13.72\pm1.04$ years. 4. The timing of menarche occurred around the same time as the fusion process of distal phalanx of the first finger(p<0.001, r=0.82) and the initiation of fusion of middle phalanx of the third finger(p<0.001, r=0.78). Therefore, we can give the aid when we evaluate the growth and development of growing females seeing the changes at phalanx of the first and third finger.

성장기 환자의 발육 상태를 나타내는 여러 지표 중 수완부 골성숙도와 초경시기가 유용하게 사용될 수 있으며 수완부 골성숙도에서는 첫째와 셋째 수지의 변화가 비교적 중요한 의미를 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 첫째 수지 및 셋째 수지의 지절 변화와 초경 및 부정교합과의 연관성을 조사하기 위해, 성장기 여아 중 I급 부정교합자 29명, II급 부정교합자 27명, III급 부정교합자 27명을 대상으로 약 6개월 간격으로 모지척측 종자골 출현 전부터 수지 지절의 융합이 거의 이루어지는 시기까지 누년적으로 촬영한 수완부골 방사선 사진과 초경시기를 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 부정교합에 따른 골성숙도의 차이는 없었다. 2. 부정교합에 따른 초경연령의 차이는 없었으며, 초경의 평균 연령은 $12.30\pm0.98$세였다. 3. 모지척측 종자골 출현은 $10.35\pm1.01$세, 첫째 수지의 원심부 지절에서 Capping단계는 $11.26\pm1.04$세, 융합시기는 $13.12\pm1.06$세이고 셋째 수지의 중간 지절의 capping은 $11.57\pm1.02$세, 융합은 $13.72\pm1.04$세에 일어났다. 4.초경은 첫째 수지 원심부 지절의 융합이 진행되는 시기와(P<0.001, r=0.82),셋째 수지 중간 지절의 융합이 시작되는 시기와(p<0.001, r=0.78) 비슷한 시기에 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 첫째 또는 셋째 수지 지절 변화만으로 성장기 여아에서의 발육상태를 평가할 때 도움을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
