 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Children in Chinese cities the second metacarpal bone of the metacarpal index of normal reference values Of: Shao-Yan, Zhang Lijun, Zhang industry, Xing Yanli, Li body [Abstract] Objective To determine the Chinese cities of the second metacarpal bone of the metacarpal index of children’s normal, provide a reference for clinical application. Methods extraction Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Dalian, Shijiazhuang City, 11 658 Han healthy children names, male 5763, female 5895 names, ages 3 to 19 years old. In the left hand in a bit X-ray films before, from an observer using digital vernier caliper at the midpoint of the second metacarpal metacarpal length diameter (D) and diameter (d), calculated metacarpal Index (Dd) / D. using Box-Cox power exponential distribution model (Box-Cox power exponential distribution, BCPE) to establish the second metacarpal bone of the metacarpal index Z score curve in the evaluation chart to test and fit Q percentile number of cases under the curve of the percentage of samples testing BCPE model goodness of fit. metacarpal index of the results of boys and girls from 3 years old, respectively, of 0.436 and 0.473 at age 19 increased to 0.623 and 0.655. 3 to 6 years of age in the male, female 3 7 years old and men 12 to 16 years, female 10 to 14 years old, metacarpal index increased rapidly. metacarpal bone in the index of all age groups of girls were significantly higher than boys (P lt;0.01). to BCPE percentile fitting model under the curve of the number of cases the number of samples the percentage difference with the theoretical percentile 0.03% to 0.34%. Conclusions In the process of growth and development of boys and girls metacarpal index increased with age, but in the metacarpal index of all ages there were significant gender differences. to BCPE model fitting centile curves metacarpal index data consistent with the actual distribution.
