Risser Classification

The iliac crest apophysis is unossified until adolescence. 

At about 14 years, ossification begins on the anterolateral aspect of the iliac crest and continues posteromedially.

Fusion of the ossified apophysis begins around the age of 15 years and may not be complete until 25 years.
