the aim of this research was to study the characteristics of the states of sexual and skeletal maturation in a group of children in Medellin. Methods : in this prospective, longitudinal, descriptive study, 33 patients were observed, 18 male and 15 female, aged between 8 and 13; the patients were healthy, and were assessed using skeletal maturation parameters, as per Hagg and Taranger, sexual maturation parameters, as per Tanner, and anthropometric measures of size and weight. Measurements were taken each six months over a period of thirty months. Results: statistically significant associations were found between skeletal and sexual maturation, with age, weight and size; sexual dimorphism with respect to the age when puberty begins. Increases in size and weight in the period immediately prior to the beginning of puberty were equal or greater than those registered in some stages of the pubertal period assessed. Conclusions: skeletal development represented by increases in size and weight in the prepubescent period, is similar to that in the pubertal period evaluated. These observations support the appropriateness of establishing orthopedic therapy in a period prior to puberty. Nevertheless, given the characteristics of the sample, it is recommended that the results be validated against a more representative sample.
