Determining the age of a person and the combination of ossification centers is considered a reasonable scientific method and is accepted in medical and legal practice [1]. It is not uncommon for doctors to be summoned to court to give an opinion on the age of a person. On the other hand, an opinion on the age of the bones in the deformed skeletal remains is a challenge for a forensic expert. Therefore, from the point of view of the administration of justice, age determination is a task of considerable importance [2, 3]. A distinctive evidence is the prevalence of a person by a wide range of physical movements and natural parameters that are unique to each person.
