STUDY OF DETERMINATION OF SEX FROM FEMUR BONE.

and
  • Aim: - Identification and determining the sex from femur bones. Materials and Methods: - The study involved 40 human adult femora (20 Male and 20 Female). The following parameters were measured using a Vernier calliper: 1. Maximum head diameter. 2. Maximum midshaft anteroposterior diameter-The anteroposterior diameter measured approximately at the midpoint of diaphysis at the highest elevation of linea aspera. 3. Distal epiphyseal breadth-The distance between the two most projecting points on the epicondyles. Results: - Males have significantly higher values than females using the three parameters. Statistical Analysis: - Data was expressed as Mean ± standard deviation.
