ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: Personal identification is mostly done by facial assessment. The auricle plays a key role in the evaluation and recognition of the craniofacial complex. The aim of this study was to provide normative database using the measurements of the auricle among young males and females by anthropometric methods. Anthropometric measurements were taken from 115 participants, (56 men and 59 women) between 18-30 years old. Participants werestudents at Yasar Dogu Faculty of Sport Sciences of Ondokuz Mayis University. Each participant signed an informed consent form and then participated to the study. We found that the mean length of the right and left auricles were 58.30-58.52 mm, the mean width of the right and left auricles were 30.04-29.73 mm, the mean length of right and left lobules were 16.05-16.45 mm, and the mean width of the right and left lobules were 17.61-18.76 mm in female participants. The mean length of right and left auricles were 62.33-62.49 mm, the mean width of the right and left auricles were 33.60-33.96 mm, the mean length of right and left lobules were 18.49-18.11 mm, and the mean width of the right and left lobules were 19.19-20.47 mm in male participants. The data obtained from the present study may be useful for further studies. Also, the results may be useful for reconstructive surgeons to analyze the size and shape of the auricle.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN: La identificación personal se realiza principalmente mediante evaluación facial. El pabellón auricular tiene un papel clave en la evaluación y el reconocimiento del complejo craneofacial. El objetivo de este estudio fue proporcionar una base de datos normativa utilizando las medidas de la oreja entre hombres y mujeres jóvenes por métodos antropométricos. Se tomaron medidas antropométricas de 115 participantes, (56 hombres y 59 mujeres) entre 18 y 30 años. Los participantes eran estudiantse de la Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte Yasar Dogu de la Universidad Ondokuz Mayis. Cada participante firmó un formulario de consentimiento informado y luego participó en el estudio. Encontramos que en las mujeres la longitud media de las aurículas derecha e izquierda era de 58,30-58,52 mm, el ancho medio de las aurículas derecha y izquierdas era de 30,04 a 29,73 mm, la longitud media de los lóbulos derecho e izquierdo era de 16,05 a 16,45 mm y el ancho medio de los lóbulos derecho e izquierdo era de 17,61 a 18,76 mm. En los hombres, la longitud media de las aurículas derecha e izquierda era de 62,33-62,49 mm, el ancho medio de las aurículas derecha e izquierda era de 33,60-33,96 mm, la longitud media de los lóbulos derecho e izquierdo era de 18,49-18,11 mm, y el ancho medio de los lóbulos derecho e izquierdo era de 18,49-18,11 mm. Los datos obtenidos del presente estudio pueden ser útiles para estudios posteriores. Además, los resultados pueden ser útiles para que los cirujanos reconstructivos analicen el tamaño y la forma del pabellón auricular.
