The timeline of ossification centers in the elbow uses the acronym "CRITOE." Here's what each letter stands for, along with the corresponding age at which ossification typically occurs:
- **C**apitellum: 1 year
- **R**adial Head: 3 years
- **I**nternal Epicondyle (Medial): 5 years
- **T**rochlea: 7 years
- **O**lecranon: 9 years
- **E**xternal Epicondyle (Lateral): 11 years
This mnemonic helps in recalling the order and approximate age of ossification for each center in the elbow, which is useful in pediatric orthopedics and radiology.
