Variation in Epiphyseal Maturation of Medial Epicondyle of Humerus in Inbred Strains of Mice

Abstract
The rate of ossification and closure of epiphyses of the medial epicondyle of the humerus was studied in 7 inbred strains of mice. The rate of development varied significantly in different strains but bore no relationship to the occurrence of degenerative joint disease, or to the ultimate epiphyseal development of the knee or head of the femur previously found to occur late in the 2d year of life.
