Does the child's bone age test serve any purpose? Is it scientific?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Bone age assessment can relatively accurately reflect an individual's growth and development level and maturity. It can not only determine a child's biological age but also provide early insights into the child's growth and development potential as well as the trend of sexual maturation! For example, if a child is four years old and the measured bone age is three years, it means the child's bone development is slow. Conversely, if the measured bone age is five years, it indicates that the child's bone development is too fast.
