ABSTRACT
Background:
The use of coxal elements for age & sex identification is primary and most widespread way of bringing us closer to the identity of dead individuals in archaeological & certain forensic scenarios. It is well known that there is metric & morphologic variation in expression of sexual dimorphism between racial phenotypes and populations. Therefore, the purpose of present research is to assess metric differences in the pubo-ischial region of hip bones amongst North Indian Population. Material &Methods:
Material for the current investigation comprised of 100 hip bones [(M F=8020) & (R L=5050)] obtained from Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab, India. Pubic Length & ischial length were measured and Pubo-ischial index was calculated. All the data thus obtained was compiled, tabulated and statistically analyzed.Results:
All the three parameters showed statistically significant sex differences. Ischium was longer in males, pubis in females & pubo-ischial index was also more in females.Conclusion:
These variables can be used to determine sex from human hip bone or its fragments.
