| description | Aim: In this study, it was
aimed to highlight the situation and importance of fetal sex determination in
the context of forensic anthropology. Suggestions have been made about the
development of this subject with current approaches and interdisciplinary
perspectives.Materials and
Methods: Fetal osteology is one of
the topics that needs to be developed within forensic anthropology. New
techniques are needed both due to lack of sample and to the limited methods
that can be applied to this age group. In this respect, a literature review was
conducted within the scope of studies on fetal sex determination. It has been
revealed how the applications of different disciplines in this field can be
adapted to forensic anthropology.Results: The vast majority of current studies emphasize
that ilium gives reliable results in fetal sex determination. Often evaluated
in both clinical applications and forensic anthropological studies, this bone
is subjected to morphological and morphometric analyses.
Conclusion: Perspectives of interdisciplinary approaches
will enable the development of fetal sex determination studies within forensic
anthropology and will play an important role in identification studies. The use
of technological tools such as ultrasound for fetal sex determination is
thought to be useful for the development of forensic anthropological techniques
as in clinical applications. Testing new techniques on fetal sex prediction is
expected to contribute to many areas such as growth - development, genetics,
embryology, neonatology and endocrinology. |
