Table Of Ossification Of The Bones Of The Superior Extremity
Bone	Centres	Time of appearance of centre	Union of primary and secondary centres; remarks.
Clavicle	Diaphysis	6th week	There are two centres in the shaft, a medial and a lateral. These blend on the 45th day (Mall). Shaft and epiphysis unite between the 20th and 25th years.
	Sternal epiphysis	18th to 20th year
Scapula	Primary centres:		The chief centre appears near the lateral angle. The subcoracoid centre appears at the base of the coracoid process and also gives rise to a part of the superior margin of the glenoid fossa. The coracoid process joins the body about the age of puberty. The acromial epiphysis centres (two or three in number) fuse with one another soon after their appearance and with the spine between the 22nd and 25th years (Quain); 20th year (Wilms). The subcoracoid and the epiphysis of the coracoid process, the glenoid fossa, the inferior angle, and the vertebral margin join between the 18th and 24th years in the order mentioned (Sappey).
	1. That of the body, the spine, and the base of the glenoid cavity.	8th week (Mall) ref 19
	2. Goraooid process	1st year
	3. Subcoraooid	10th to 12th year
	Epiphyses:
	Acromial epiphyses	15th to 18th year
	Epiphysis of the inferior angle.	16 to 18th year
	Epiphyses of the vertebral border.	18th to 20th year
	Epiphyses of upper surface of coracoid.	16th to 18th year.
	Epiphysis of surface of glenoid fossa.	16th to 18th year.
Humerus	Diaphysis	6th to 7th week (Mall)	The epiphyses of the head, the tuberculum majus and the tuberculum minus (the last is inconstant) unite with one another in 4th-6th year and with the shaft in 20th-25th year. The epiphyses of the capitulum, lateral epicondyle, and trochlea unite with one another and then in the 16th-17th year join the shaft. The epiphysis of the medial epicondyle joins the shaft in the 18th year.
	Epiphyses:
	Head	1st to 2d year
	Tuberculum majus	2d to 3d year
	Tuberculum minus	3d to 5th year
	Capitulum	2d to 3d year
	Epioondylus med	5th to 8th year
	Lateral margin of trochlea	11th to 12th year
	Epicondylus lat	12th to 14th year
Radius	Diaphysis	7th week (Mall)	The superior epiphysis and shaft unite between the 17th and 20th years. The inferior epiphysis and shaft about the 21st year (Pryor); M 21st year, F 21st-25th year (Sappey). Sometimes an epiphysis is found m the tuberosity (R. and K.) and in the styloid process (Sappey).
	Epiphyses:
	Carpal end	F 8th month - M 15th month (Pryor)
	Humeral end	6th-7th year
