 hip bone is a large irregular innominate bone which is useful in determining the sex of an unknown individual because of the morphology and its differences in shape in males and females. Present study was aimed to study the sexual dimorphism on the basis of anthropometric parameters of anterior border. The study was conducted on 100 dry hip bone (66 males and 34 females) collected from department of Anatomy PGIMS Rohtak in which anterior border of the hip bone from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to iliopubiceminence (IPE) and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to pubic tubercle (PT) were measured using vernier caliper in which differences in the mean value of distance between ASIS to PT and ASIS to IPE of hip bone of male and female was found to be statistically significant for both right and left side and also slight bilateral asymmetry was observed.
