Background: Determination of sex from skeletal remains is one of the important aspects of Osteometric analysis. Objectives: The present study was planned to collect data regarding total length of fully ossified dry human left tibia and to find out possible variations in male and female. Methodology: This analytical type of cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2015 for a period of one year. In this study fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were collected from In this study fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were collected from the department of Anatomy and also from the students of Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka, Ibrahim Medical College (IMC), Dhaka, Dhaka National Medical College (DNMC), Dhaka and Bangladesh Medical College (BMC), Dhaka. The study samples were distributed in male and female sex groups by discriminate function analysis. Total lengths were measured with the help of an osteometric board. Results: A total number of two hundred (200) fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were analyzed. The mean (±SD) values of total length were greater in male (38.82 ± 2.94) cm than female (33.48 ± 1.68) which was statically significant (p< 0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion the total length is greater in male compared to female.
Introduction: Gerdy's tubercle is a lateral tubercle of the upper end of tibia where the iliotibial tract inserts. The aim of this study is to find out the shape of Gerdy's tubercle on fully ossified dry human left tibia with their clinical association. Materials and methods: The present study is an observational analytic type of study which was performed on of two hundred (200) fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex, conducted in the department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College, from July 2014 to June 2015.In this study fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were collected from the department of Anatomy and also from the students of Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka, Ibrahim Medical College (IMC), Dhaka, Dhaka National Medical College (DNMC), Dhaka and Bangladesh Medical College (BMC), Dhaka. Results: The shape is evaluated subjectively and tubercles classified as type A was found in 55.0%, type B in 13.5 %, type C in 15.5%, type D in 4 %, type E in 9 % and type F in 3%. In male Type A was found in 58.2%, Type B in 15.3%, Type C in 12.2%, Type D in 4.1%, Type E in 8.2% and Type F in 2%. In female Type A was found in 52%, Type B in 11.8%, Type C in 8.6%, Type D in 3.9%, Type E in 9.8% and Type F in 3.9%. Conclusion: The different shapes of Gerdy’s tubercle demonstrated in the present study may contribute to produce significant effect on surgical interventions and some shapes may be more prone to traumatic injuries on it.
Tibia is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates. The objective of this study was to determine the morphometry of the height of medial malleolus of fully ossified dry human left tibia and this morphometric parameter also clinically important in imaging diagnosis of fractures of the medial malleolus. This analytical type of study was done on two hundred (200) fully ossified dry human left tibia conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2015 for a period of one year. From the result of the present study it can be concluded that the mean (±SD) value of height of medial malleolus of tibia was greater in male than that of female which was statistically significant (p<0.01). The results of this study will be useful for Orthopedic surgeons while making implants for the lower end of tibia.
