Study of Sex from Human Sternum in Cases of Medico-legal Autopsies (Between the Age Group of 10 and 50 Years)
Abstract: Determination of sex is immensely important not only for identification but also for age and stature determination as sex has got direct bearings on both of these parameters. Whenever it is possible to tell sex of skeletal remains, identification has been narrowed down by half, as missing person of only one sex needs to be considered. In this sense the identification of sex takes precedence over age. The present work …
