Age estimation using epiphyseal closure at the wrist joint : an investigation of individuals of African origin, age 14 to 22 years

Age estimation techniques allow the researcher to compare chronological age, calculated from the individual's date of birth, to the level of functional and skeletal development known as biological age. This is useful in forensic cases where the age of an individual whether living or post mortem is often unknown.
