The carpals (wrists) and tarsals (ankles) are not yet ossified in the fetus. The hardening of these bones begins in the first 4 weeks of life outside the womb, and continues for some bones until the age of 12 years.

The cartilaginous epiphyseal plates at the ends of the long bones will disappear by adulthood and the epiphyses will fuse with the diaphyses.
