Overview

An X-ray is helpful in the diagnosis of delayed puberty. Findings on an X-ray are specific for bone age. Bone age is used to predict the final adult height of children. There is a strong association between bone age and the puberty onset in boys with developmental disorders. If the difference between measured bone age and chronological age is more than 2 years, it is strongly suggestive of constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP).
