Sexual Dimorphism of Human Hip Bone With Respect To Chilotic Line Index

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: To study the sexual dimorphism of dried human hip bone with respect to chilotic line and chilotic line index (CI) and finding a cut off value for the chilotic line index that will be accurate for identification of sex in the human hip bone. Materials and Methods: The study was undertaken with a sample size of 116 adult human dried hip bones from the department of Anatomy, Shri M.P.Shah Government Medical College, Jamnagar. Gujarat. The Chilotic line (pelvic segment and sacral segment) was measured using a Vernier caliper and chilotic line index was calculated. .All the observations were tabulated and analyzed statistically further. All the parameters are statistically significant. All the values obtained for various parameters were compared with the previous studies. Results: We defined a demarking point for chilotic line index for male is 157.14 and for female 98.11, thus the hip bones having chilotic line index more than 157.14 are definitely of male and hip bones having chilotic line index less than 98.11 are definitely of female . This finding is very statistically significant with P<0.0001, t=2.872. Conclusion: “Demarking point†method identified 22.64% of male hip bones and 10% of female hip bone So, the sex of the hip bone can be assessed up to about 99.99 % confidence with the help of chilotic line index [Kanjariya V Natl J Integr Res Med, 2019; 10(3):16-19]
