Abstract :

Introduction:- The distinctive morphology of the human hip bone and its clear sexual dimorphism make it of interest in medical science field. Material and Method:- This study was carried out on 110 dried human hip bones and classified them in to three groups according to eight visual criteria Male, female and unidentified group. Out of 110 hip bones 50 were male, 35 were female and remaining 25 were related with unidentified group. Pubic length, mid pubic width, minimum pubic width and pubic angle was measured and index 1 (mid pubic width / Pubic length) and index 2 (minimum pubic width / Pubic length) was calculated. All these measurements and index were statistically analyzed. Results:- Mean values of Pubic length, mid pubic width, minimum pubic width, index 1 and index 2 were higher in female as compared male and unknown sex group hip bones. Mean value of pubic angle was less in female as compared to male. After statistical analysis of these measurements difference in mean of pubic length p value was 0.389, mid pubic width pubic angle, index 1 and 2 was <0.0001 and p value for pubic angle was 0.005 Conclusion:- After statistical analysis It was found that there was significant difference in the mean value of mid pubic width , minimum pubic width, pubic angle, index 1 and index 2.
