Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Human skeleton and its remains are important material for racial genetic anthropological and forensic investigations Sacrum being the last skeletal remains proves important in sex determination amp identification of deceased The first sacral vertebra is last to decay in the sacrum This study is to validate the selected morphometric parameterss and indices related to first sacral vertebra and thus sex determination by the available part of human sacrumMulticentric study on 282 dry human sacra in central india region was conducted after due permission of institution ethics committee Transverse anteriopoeterior diameter of S1 was measured and Index of S1 was calculatedMean value of transverse diameter of first sacral vertebra is 478 and 446 and Anterioposterio diameter is 307 and 289 for male and female sacra with tvalue of 48839 and 42262 respectively amp Pvalue highly significant Mean value for Index of S1 for male and female is 84429 and 89327 respectively with tvalue 00568This multicentric study provides morphometric values of first sacral vertebra that can be used for determination of sex and forensic identification in Central India region Morphometric indicators of first sacral vertebra can be used for the anatomical and forensic purpose where partial or broken sacra is only skeletal remainsKeywords First sacral vertebra S1 Sacrum Identification point Demarking point
