ABSTRACT
Introduction: Over the years different authors had carried various types of measurements on human Sacrum of different races and region Anthropometry measurement of dry adult sacrum is as reliable as the radiographic sacrum measurements, since the anthropometric measurements of bones eliminates the restrictions of conventional radiographic measurements like focus distance, rotation of spine, Picture archiving communication system (PACS) measuring software. The present research study will analyses the Anthropometric difference between the male and female sacrum.
Materials and methods: The study was undertaken in 200 adult human dry sacrum in Department of Anatomy BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical College And Hospital, Research lab. Various Parameters like weight, Mid -Ventral Straight Length, Sacral Midventral Curved Length, Maximum sacral width, Sacral index measured using Sliding Vernier caliper, measuring tape, the Anthropometric parameter were recorded and analyzed.
Result: Average value for weight of sacrum in males was 59.70 gms and that of in female was 49.37 gms. Sacrum with weight measuring above 70 gms was definitely male and below 40 gms was definitely female. Difference between male and female mean was statistically significant. sacral index in male was 92.41% and that of female was 107.04%. Sacrum with sacral index measuring below 90.09% was definitely male and that of above 109.3% was definitely female.
Conclusion: Various Anthropometry are analysed and during the investigation. prior Anthropometry knowledge of sacrum is utmost important to Anatomist and Forensic clinician to distinguish between the male and female sacrum.
Key words: Sacral Index, Base- wing Index, Curvature index, Corporobasal index, Index of body of first sacral vertebra, Auricular index.
