The Normal Sub pubic Angle in Adult Sudanese Population
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Many worldwide studies have investigated the anatomical differences between males and females. One of the most areas was studied is the morphological differences in the bony pelvis. Apart from their medical and anatomical values these information had been used in forensic and anthropological studies. Objectives: This study is held to shed a light in presence of difference in bony pelvis regarding the subpubic angle among Sudanese males and females subjects. Methods: A sample of 54 males and 53 females X-ray pelvises had been collected, examined and the subpubic angle was measured for each individual. Results: The range of the subpubic angle in male was found (82 to 128) and the mean was 106. In females the range was found (104 to 170) and the mean was 140 with significant statistical difference. Conclusion: The anatomical difference of the subpubic angle in males and females was significant in this study. Our results are comparable to that obtained from other regional studies held in Africa with some minor differences that may reflect ethnic variation.
