Fusion of Manubriosternal Joint: Role in Estimation of Age
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Estimation of age of an individual from skeletal remains is a crucial step. Present work is an effort to study the sternum for estimation of age based on fusion of the manubriosternal joint. The sterna were obtained from the fifty one cadavers. The age and sex of the deceased were obtained. The collected specimens were cleaned and dried properly. For the estimation of age the sterna were examined for the presence or absence of fusion at Manubriosternal joint. The degree of fusion of the manubriosternal joint in the different age group of male and female were variable. Hence correct estimation of age based on fusion of manubriosternal joint alone is not a much reliable criterion.
