Abstract :

The distinctive morphology of human skeleton and its clear sexual dimorphism make it of interests from anatomical, forensic, obstetrical, radiological and anthropological point of view. 100 known sex normal dry human hip bones obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Gold Field Institute of Medical Science and Research Faridabad Haryana were studied in the year of 2013. The posterior segment of Greater Sciatic Notch, Genoves� sciatic notch index and posterior angle are found to be significant by t test (P < 0.001). The posterior angle of greater sciatic notch was found to be highly significant for determination of sex of hip bone.
