Radiographic methods in evaluating the skeletal maturity include Risser sign and Tanner-Whitehouse score. They are either inappropriate or too complex for a busy clinic setting. The cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) stage is commonly used in orthodontics but has been less acknowledged in studies of spinal growth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the CVM stage could be used as an alternative to Risser sign in determining peak height velocity (PHV).
