Sex Determination from the Clavicle
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Identification of sex from unidentified human skeleton remains is a challenge for anthropologists and forensic investigators. Determination of sex is relatively easy if the entire skeleton is available for examination. Even when skull and pelvis, the most reliable bones for sex determination are available not more than 98% of accuracy can be achieved in identifying the sex. Often in medicolegal cases it is expected to determine sex from isolated long bones or their fragments from the crime site in order to establish a possible identity. Various methods to do this on different bones of human skeleton have been extensively studied. Different level of accuracy for sex determination using clavicle have been reported in various studies and on the other hand, anthropometric dimensions of different bones are unique in each race and geographic region. The purpose of this study was to find out an easy formula for determination of sex from unknown clavicle and to know about comparative differences between the right and left clavicle of male and female
