A study of distance between posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine of the dry adult human hip bone for sex determination in central India population
Keywords:
human hip bone, iliac spine, ischial spine, posterior inferior, sex determinationAbstract
Sex identification of human skeletal has great anthropological and medico legal significance. The hip bone is very useful and ideal for sex determination. It is the most trusted bone for sex determination because of its pattern of sexual dimorphism very common in human race. Present study parameters will be used for identification of sex. In present study significant difference will be observed in the distance between posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine which will be useful in anatomical, anthropological, archaeological and forensic studies. They always are want a reliable estimation of the sex of unknown individuals represented by only a few bones or when several bones are missing or are broken due to the effect of environmental conditions. There is the ability to determine sex from the unknown skeletal it is very important methods to do this. The various bones of the skeletal will able to tell sex of that human skeleton. From all bony structure pelvis is best indicator of sex. The Sexual dimorphism of hip bone showing it special feature in female due to child bearing property and this can be calculated by the coxal index and total pelvic height.
