ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Sex determination of the unknown hip bone either of whole skeleton or any part of it, is always a field of research not only for anatomist but also for forensic expert, anthropologist and archaeologist. Hip bone was considered as ideal bone for sex determination after skull. The morphometry of 100 dry human hip bones, in south Indian population was done in order to evaluate the various parameters of the hip bone. Body proportions and absolute dimensions vary widely in respect to age, sex and racial groups.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy,YenepoyaMedical College, Yenepoya University, Mangalore. 100 hip bones of both sexes were used. The Osteometric parameters such as Length, Width, were measured using osteometric board, Weight electronic weighing machine. And Coxalindex of hip bone, were used formula, Length of hip bone ÷ Width of hip bone ×100. The data were analyzed statistically using SPSS software. In this study we included only healthy bones, deformed and eroded bones were excluded from the study.

Results:  The data obtained was statistically analyzed. Mean, Standard deviation and standard error of mean, t- value and p- value, were determined for each parameter. Length of hip bone: (Mean for Female –18.31 cm, Male -20.29cm).  Weight of hip bone: (Mean for Female –86.48gm, Male-121.72gm). Width of hip bone: (Mean for Female-13.50cm, male-14.38cm.). Coxal index: (Mean for Female-73.73, male-70.87.)

All parameters show statistically highly significant  (P- value <0.0001). All values were compared with series of other workers.

Conclusion: In this study all the parameters were larger in males as compared to females and were found to be statistically highly significant. Difference were present in gross morphometric parameters, hence these measurements of the hip bone can be used for sex determination of unknown skeletons remains and in the forensic science for medico legal cases.

Key words: Total hipbone height, hipbone width, hipbone weight, Sexual dimorphisam.
