The purpose of this study is to evaluate the height velocity for bone age in children with non-endocrine short stature (NESS). 181 radiographs of the hand and wrist were selected from 52 male children with NESS. The Tanner-Whitehouse II (TW II) RUS scoring system was employed, and the score was converted to the bone age for Japanese children. When the height velocity for bone age was analyzed for each year, mean values were almost parallel to the mean height velocity curve for normal boys, and the peak height velocity for bone age was recognized at 13 years, the age at which the peak height velocity for chronological age is also recognized in normal boys. Most height velocity SD scores in NESS were below 0 SD (77.9%).<BR>It is suggested that the bone has its own growth potential depending on bone age, and that evaluation of height velocity should therefore be made in relation to bone age.
