Osterhofen, Bayern, Germany 6 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIM: The greater sciatic notch is important because the gender of the hip bone can be determined on the basis of its appearance and dimensions. Important parameters that are taken into consideration when measuring greater sciatic notch dimensions are: the width and depth of the greater sciatic notch, the width of the upper part of greater sciatic notch. It is important to monitor the ratio of the width and depth of the notch, when assessing the appearance alone. The aim of the study was to determine correlations between the upper part of the greater sciatic notch with the values of it’s width, as well as between depth and width of the upper part of the great sciatic notch. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted prospectively on 98 hip bone, of which 56 were single and 42 were within the pelvis. The gender and age of the bones were unknown. All bones belonged to adults in the Bosnian population. The research is based on the osteometric measurements of the width and depth of the greater sciatic notch and width of the upper part of greater sciatic notch, that was used for index calculations of the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.

  • Curvature of the Greater Sciatic Notch in Sexing the Human Pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1*
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCE Vol. 000, 000–000, 2006 Curvature of the greater sciatic notch in sexing the human pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1* 1Department of Anatomy, Dokkyo University School of Medicine, 880 Kitakobayashi, Mibu-machi, Shimotuga-gun, Tochigi, 321-0293 Japan Received 11 November 2005; accepted 26 January 2006 Abstract The maximum curvature of the greater sciatic notch and two standardized indices were cal- culated for use in the sexing of human hip bones. This was done by means of quadratic regression of the contour points of the greater sciatic notch. The new variables are not directly affected by the osteo- metric landmarks (e.g. ischial spine, tubercle of the piriformis, and posterior inferior iliac spine) which determine the greatest width of the notch. These landmarks are, however, known to be ill-defined on occasion, but nevertheless have been used to derive the conventional depth-to-width index and angles of the sciatic notch. The curvature parameter and its new indices were applied to the sciatic notch of 164 Japanese hip bones of known sex (104 males and 61 females). The accuracy of the new variables in the determination of sex was assessed and compared with that of the conventional indices and angles of the sciatic notch. The best discriminating variable was found to be the posterior angle with an accu- racy of 91%. The new parameters of the present study that represent localized shape of the sharply curved edge of the notch diagnosed sex with an accuracy of 88%. In paleoanthropological or forensic cases, using the maximum curvature of the sciatic notch and its indices may be applicable to sexing the hip bones of specimens with postmortem damage.

  • The Pelvis Structure the Pelvic Region Is the Lower Part of the Trunk
    The pelvis Structure The pelvic region is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs. It includes several structures: the bony pelvis (or pelvic skeleton) is the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk, subdivided into: the pelvic girdle (i.e., the two hip bones, which are part of the appendicular skeleton), which connects the spine to the lower limbs, and the pelvic region of the spine (i.e., sacrum, and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton) the pelvic cavity, is defined as the whole space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, subdivided into: the greater (or false) pelvis, above the pelvic brim , the lesser (or true) pelvis, below the pelvic brim delimited inferiorly by the pelvic floor(or pelvic diaphragm), which is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis. Pelvic floor separate the pelvic cavity above from the perineum below. The pelvic skeleton is formed posteriorly (in the area of the back), by the sacrum and the coccyx and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the sides), by a pair of hip bones. Each hip bone consists of 3 sections, ilium, ischium, and pubis. During childhood, these sections are separate bones, joined by the triradiate hyaline cartilage. They join each other in a Y-shaped portion of cartilage in the acetabulum. By the end of puberty the three bones will have fused together, and by the age of 25 they will have ossified. The two hip bones join each other at the pubic symphysis.

  • Dega Osteotomy (Pelvic Osteotomy)
    Dega Osteotomy (Pelvic Osteotomy) Why does my child need this surgery? The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that joins the thighbone (femur) to the pelvis. The femoral head, a bony ball at the top of the femur, rotates (turns) inside the pelvic socket (acetabulum). In a child with very tight muscle tone (spasticity), the muscles around the femur can begin pulling the ball out of the socket. For children who walk, the weight of the pelvis may help hold the joint together. A child whose pelvic socket is deep and in good condition may need a femoral derotational osteotomy. This surgery repositions the ball of the femur in the pelvic socket. Sometimes a child’s pelvic socket becomes too shallow to hold the femoral ball. They may need a Dega osteotomy and a femoral derotational osteotomy. Together, the two What happens after surgery? procedures repair the socket, reposition the ball of the femur Your child will probably not be in a cast.

  • Sex Determination Using the Distance Between Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine and Ischial Spine in Dry Human Innominate Bone K
    Research Article Sex determination using the distance between posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine in dry human innominate bone K. Akshaya, Karthik Ganesh Mohanraj* ABSTRACT Aim: This study aims to determine the sex using the distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine. Introduction: Hip bone is taken into account because it is the most sexual dimorphic skeletal component in humans. The greater sciatic notch is very valuable as a result of its proof against damage and is extremely sexually dimorphic. Sexual dimorphism points to the contrasting features between male and female in relation to the size and appearance. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a total of 60 dry human pelvic bones of unknown sex and without any gross abnormality were collected from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, for evaluation. With the help of Vernier caliper and ruler, the measurements such as maximum jugular length, maximum jugular breadth, and diameter were measured. The results obtained were analyzed, tabulated, and represented graphically. Results: The distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine is greater in females than in males amped that the depth of the sciatic notch is lesser in females. All these parameters help us distinguish female and males pelvis. Thus, the pelvic bone helps in the determination of sex and is highly sexually dimorphic. Conclusion: The distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine is greater in females than in males amped that the depth of the sciatic notch is lesser in females. All these parameters help us distinguish female and males pelvis.

  • Determination of Sex Using Os Coxae in Relation to Ischial Tuberosity – a Morphometric Study M
    Research Article Determination of sex using os coxae in relation to ischial tuberosity – A morphometric study M. Shruthi, Karthik Ganesh Mohanraj* ABSTRACT Introduction: Sex determination of an unidentified individual is one of the main objectives when human skeletal remains are found, both in forensic investigation and archaeological studies. The distinctive morphology of the human hip bone and its clear sexual dimorphism build it of interest from anatomical, social science, and rhetorical points of analysis. Determination of biological sex is one of the most important determinations to be made from undocumented human remains which this study is aimed for. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a total of 30 dry human pelvic bones of unknown sex and without any gross abnormality will be collected from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, for evaluation. With the help of Vernier caliper and ruler, the measurements such as minimum iliac breadth (MIB), maximum auricular length (MAL), and maximum ischiopubic length (MIPL) are measured. The results obtained were analyzed, tabulated, and represented graphically. Results: The average of MIB in male was found to be 57.61 ± 2.11 mm and in female was found to be 53.45 ± 3.14 mm. The MAL in male was 53.71 ± 1.67 mm and 49.16 ± 2.82 mm in females. The MIPL in male and female was 113.23 ± 4.89 mm and 107.2 ± 7.63 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The chances of attaining high levels of accuracy and reliability regarding sex identification are related to the skeletal components analyzed and the ability of techniques utilized to analyze shape and size differences among the sexes.
