A new method for assessing the sex of fragmentary skeletal remains: femoral shaft circumference.
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple discriminant function using midshaft femoral circumference for the determination of sex has been tested with 114 skeletons from the Libben Site, Ontario County, Ohio. The results have been shown to be 85% consistent with other, accepted means of determining sex. Femur circumference an be an aid to the sexual identification of poorly preserved and fragmentary skeletal remains.

Introduction & Objective: Closed intramedullary nailing has become the standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures, but because the existing closed reduction methods are difficult and demanding, in the most trauma centers these fractures usually are treated by open reduction method. Our objective was close reduction of these difficult fractures by a simple but effective method using Schanz...
متن کاملSex Assessment Using the Femur and Tibia in Medieval Skeletal Remains from Ireland: Discriminant Function Analysis.
Sex determination based on discriminant function analysis of skeletal measurements is probably the most effective method for assessment of sex in archaeological and contemporary populations due to various reasons, but it also suffers from limitations such as population specificity. In this paper standards for sex assessment from the femur and tibia in the medieval Irish population are presented...
متن کاملReconstruction of femoral length from fragmentary femora
The reconstruction of femoral length (FL) from fragmentary femora is an essential step in estimating stature from fragmentary skeletal remains in forensic investigations. While regression formulae for doing this have been suggested for several populations, such formulae have not been established for Ghanaian skeletal remains. This study, therefore, seeks to derive regression formulae for recons...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was the estimation of foetal femoral bone development, based on anthropometric, densitometric and histometric examination. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was done on 68 foetuses (31 female and 37 male) of various foetal ages (16-31 weeks of gestation). The specimens, ranging 16-31 weeks of gestation, were divided into 3 groups for better statistical anal...
متن کاملComparison of Outcome of Femoral Shaft Fracture Fixation with Intramedullary Nail in Elderly Patient and Patients Younger than 60 Years Old
Background: Although intramedullary nailing (IMN) is an established and accepted operative treatment for femoral shaft fracture in patients younger than 60, there is a lack of data on the results of this treatment on those over 60. The purpose of this study was to determine if the outcome of IMN for femoral shaft fracture in elderly patients is also acceptable. Particular challenges in this g...
