Measurement of various morphometric parameters of the ulna and analyzing its variations will help in sex determination & can play important role in forensic science
Keywords:
Ulnar bone; maximum length (MLU) and olecranon width (OLW), coronoid height (CPH), mid shaft diameter (MSD), and distal end breadth (DEB).Abstract
Aim: In this work, we will examine a number of ulna morphometric features, look for genderdifferences in these parameters, and find that the measurements of male and female bones are significantly different.
