Ontogenetic study of the scapula among some Egyptians: Forensic implications in age and sex estimation using Multidetector Computed Tomography

Ontogenesis of the Sella Turcica among Egyptians: Forensic and Radiological Study

“…They studied the size of sella among an Indian sample between the ages of 9-27 years where the mean length reached 8.8 mm in the ages of 9-14 years and 9.6 mm in the group aged 15-27 years. The current study demonstrated that the sella width was bigger in females than in males in the age group of less than 5 years, which is consistent with previous studies on other bones (femur, ilium and scapula) (Rissech et al 2008, Rissech et al 2005, Badr El Dine et al 2016.…”

“…Despite the existence of numerous studies on skeletal growth worldwide (Bilfeld et al 2013, Bilfeld et al 2015, Pujol et al 2016, fewer studies have been conducted among Egyptians to determine the pattern of skeletal growth and consequently subadult age estimation (Boccone et al 2010, Badr El Dine et al 2016.…”

Growth of the pectoral girdle in a sample of juveniles from the kellis 2 cemetery, Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt

“…The scapular index (scapular width × 100/scapular height) was used to assess the general scapular body shape where a high scapular index indicates a relatively medio‐laterally broad scapula and a low scapular index indicates a relatively medio‐laterally narrow scapula (Badr El Dine and Hassan, ; Broca, ; Hrdlička, ). Raw data are presented in the Appendix.…”

Sex Determination in Egyptian Population from Scapula by Computed Tomography

“…Previous studies were done on determination of sex from scapula in different populations using either skeletal remains [1,3,[10][11][12][13][14][15], digital photographs [5,16] or multi -slice computed tomography (CT) [2,4,7,17,18] on different age groups and using different measurements. To the best of our insight, this Egyptian study is an interesting one which uses both scapulae in the determination of sex in Egyptians with different dimensions and different age group.…”
