Morphometric Study of Proximal End of Femur in Central Indian Population
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Invention - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Femur bone is used for anthropometric analysis in the cases of unidentified parts if available. So that very difficult to identify sex by an individual bone. My present study is aimed to calculate a range of anthropometric parameters of the proximal end of dried femora for sex determination. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on undamaged, dried, non-pathological 50 dried femora of both sexes at L N Medical College and Research Centre, Bhopal. Total length of femur, vertical diameter of Neck, vertical diameter of Head measured through osteometric board and vernier caliper. Result : The outcome was statistically significant. All bones were found to be symmetrical. Conclusion: P value of present study point towards symmetrical femora. Femoral length were next best sex discriminatory parameter after Vertical diameter of Head
