Abstract:- The nature and degree of sexual differentiation in the pelvis has long been of interest to anatomists and anthropologist. It is of practical importance to obstetricians and to those who would identify skeletal remains. The need for accurate identification of human skeletal remains has become more urgent in recent years. Because escalating crime rates have become a worldwide phenomenon, new and more accurate means of determining the age, sex and race are needed. Two hundred adult hip bones(100 males and 100 females) of known sex were obtained at random from the skeletal collection of Department of Anatomy Measurements were taken with the help of Vernier Caliper, and divider. In this study six parameters were considered including three old parameters and three new parameters. For every parameter, the mean and standard deviation (S.D) was calculated and the range noted. Demarking points were worked out from calculated ranges, i.e. mean + 3 S.D.(Singh and Potturi). The percentage of the bones identified by each demarking point in both sexes was estimated from this material. The observations were recorded. The values obtained for various parameters were compared. it is concluded that among the older criteria greater sciatic notch width was found to be the most accurate criteria by which sex could be accurately assigned to 24 right male and 22% of right female and 24% left male and 28% left female hip bone. Acetabuler diameter was found to be next best criteria by which 20% right male and 20 right female and 22% of left male and 24% of left female hip bone could be sexed accurately. Among newer criteria true pelvic height was found be the most accurate criteria by which sex could be accurately assigned to 18% right male and 16% right female and 14% left male and 12% left female bones. The present study is done to evaluate the criteria’s of sex determination from hip bone already set by Anatomist, to find out some newer criteria and to establish a more suitable combination of criterias which average researcher who may not be an anatomist should be able to use to obtain accurate results. An effort has been made to find out most dependable criteria.
Key words:- Sexual differentiation, bones, demarking points.
