Abstract
Summary and Conclusions
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 occurrence of degenerative joint disease, or to ultimate epiphyseal development of knee or head of femur previously found to occur late in second year of life.
Grateul acknowledgement for statistical computations is made to Joan Gurian.
