    Abstract

    Twenty four boys with delayed pubertal growth spurt were treated with oxandrolone (2.5 mg daily) for 0.21 to 0.65 years. The mean increment of growth velocity was 4.4 cm/year during treatment, which was maintained at 3.7 cm/year after treatment. There was no significant change in height for bone age standard deviation scores.
