Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The determination of sex is a important requirement in anthropology and forenseic medicine. The skeleton remains after putrefaction and decomposition after death. Clavicles is one of the bones which is used for sex determination especially were only skeletal remains are available. Aim: To study the sexual dimorphism in human adult clavicles. Materials & Methods: 100 dried clavicles from adult bodies were obtained from Department of Anatomy, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narkatpally. The clavicles with complete ossification were included in the present study. Bones showing any deformity or degradation were excluded. Results: Out of 100 clavicles of 60 were males, 40 were female. The length of clavicle in females is greater than males but, breadth of clavicles were greater in males than females. Conclusion: The determination of sex from adult human clavicles.
