Correlations of midshaft breadths and compact bone thickness among bones of the upper and lower extremities of children aged 6 to 16 years

Correlations between endosteal, periosteal and compact bone breadths of the humerus, tibia, second metacarpal and second metatarsal were determined in a sample of 394 normal, white children from greater Philadelphia. Although most correlations tended to be significant, the magnitude of all were low, except just at the time of the onset of the adolescent spurt. In normal, disease‐free children, measurements of a single bone cannot be confidently used as an indicator of compact bone mass anywhere else in the skeleton. There is some indication that the humerus provides the best single bone to use in cases where such a procedure is necessary
