Sex identification and reconstruction of length of humerus from its fragments: An Egyptian study
The aim of this study was to calculate the total length of the humerus and identify the sex from its fragments in Egyptians. One hundred and fifty dry adult right humeri (75 male and 75 female) were studied. The humeri were divided into seven fragments according to specific anatomical landmarks. Dat...

| description | The aim of this study was to calculate the total length of the humerus and identify the sex from its fragments in Egyptians. One hundred and fifty dry adult right humeri (75 male and 75 female) were studied. The humeri were divided into seven fragments according to specific anatomical landmarks. Data obtained was subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. The longest fragmentary portion revealed a good result with closest proximity to the total length of humerus. All fragments showed significant sexual differences (P < 0.001) between males and females except H2. Total length of humerus revealed the highest percentage of accuracy (93.3%) followed by H4 (86.7%) and H7 (83.3%) for sex identification. Finally, from measurements of different humeral fragments in Egyptian population; the length of the humerus can be estimated and the sex can be identified. |
