“…Asthana et al (2014) [14] used sacral index to differentiate the two sexes in western Indian populations of Jaipur and Bikaner (Rajasthan). Janipati et al (2014) [16] studied the sacral index among populations of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and compared with various Indian populations and found it higher in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. They concluded that the mean sacral index in females is higher than that of males in Indian populations.…”

Aim: To report the first ever made discovery of two 70,000 years-old prehistoric fossil sacra along with their detailed comparative morphometric study with modern human sacra to see any pattern of difference between the modern and prehistoric sacra.Methods: In all 22 parameters were used for the metric analysis of the two fossil sacra which include 17 linear and curved measurements and five indices, and six were used as sexing criteria. These were compared with those of the extant Indian populations. Results:The two fossil sacra show some morphological difference from the modern human sacra in having less posterior curvature, and squarer outline of the male and rectangular of the female sacrum. They also exhibit very distinct sexual dimorphism in sacral index, though metric variables are within modern human range. Conclusion:There are noticeable differences between the fossil sacra and typical modern human sacra, more so among the sexes indicating as if early humans were highly dimorphic sexually since ca.70-80 kya.

“…Mean in male sacrum was 98.35 and in female sacrum 113.5. According to Poornima et al 4 in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions related to southern part of India values of sacral index in males is 104.08 and females is 115.72. The % of bone identified as male sacrum was 64% and the % of bone identified as female sacrum was 68%.…”

BACKGROUND The sacrum (Vertebra Magnum) is a large, flattened, triangular bone present at the base of spine, which is formed by fusion of sacral vertebra S1 to S5 and the fusion occurs between the age group of 18 to 30 years. It forms the posterosuperior part of bony pelvis articulating on either side with the corresponding hip bone at the sacroiliac joint. The dimensions of sacra vary in different sexes. Determination of sex of sacrum can be done by using various methods. In our study, comparison was done between sacral index and Kimura base wing method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study to determine the sex of sacrum was carried on 50 sacra (25 male and 25 female sacra) by two methods. One method used was sacral index and the other method was Kimura's base wing index. The measuring instrument used was sliding vernier caliper. Sacral index-the well-known method for determination of sex from sacrum and Kimura's base wing method-another method for sex determination. Both are compared. The method of sacral index showed more accuracy rate as compared with Kimura's base wing index method. RESULTS By using sacral index, the % of bone identified as male sacrum was 64% and the % of bone identified as female sacrum was 68%. By using Kimura base wing method, 28% of male sacra and 24% of female sacra were identified in right side and 24% of male sacra and 20% of female sacra were identified in left side.

This study is carried out to evaluate the anatomy and clinical significance of the sacrum which forms the posterior wall of pelvis and hiatus sacralis shapes. Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty three (60 females and 63 males) of Turkish healthy subjects aged between 18 and 70 having brain CT with various reason in the Radiology Department in this retrospective study. The sacrum maximum length, sacrum maximum breadth, sacral index obtained from the ratio of the sacrum breadth to sacrum length multiplied by 100 were measured and calculated. Additionally, the hiatus sacralis shapes were evaluated and classify. Results: Sacrum maximum length, 106.70±12.88mm; sacrum maximum width, 127.67±14.72mm; and sacral index 120.11±14.64 were calculated in females, respectively. The same parameters were 118.87±14.03mm, 126.45±12.77mm, and 108.48±16.50 in males, respectively. Also, the most frequent type of sacral hiatus were inverted U in females and inverted V in males, respectively. Moreover, there were a significant difference between sacrum length and sacral index and gender. Conclusion: Knowing the anatomy of the sacrum, and sacral hiatus shapes and making of morphometric measurements of it, is of clinical importance in terms of preventing the complications and the surgical intervention which will practice to this area in the pathologies of the area by orthopaedic surgeons, obstretricians, paediatricians, anaesthecians and anatomists. Amaç: Bu çalışma, pelvis arka duvarını oluşturan os sacrum'un anatomisini ve klinik önemini değerlendirmek ve hiatus sacralis şekillerini ortaya koymak için yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya yaşları 18 ile 70 arasında değişen ve çeşitli nedenlerle Radyoloji bölümünde Bilgisayarlı Tomografi çektiren yüz yirmi üç (60 kadın; 63 erkek) sağlıklı Türk popülasyonu dahil edildi. Os sacrum'un maksimum uzunluğu, os sacrum'un maksimum genişliği, os sacrum genişliğinin os sacrum maksimum uzunluğuna bölünüp 100 ile çarpılmasıyla elde edilen sakral indeks değeri ölçüldü. Ayrıca, hiatus sacralis şekilleri değerlendirilerek sınıflandırma yapıldı. Bulgular: Kadınlarda sırasıyla os sacrum'un maksimum uzunluğu 106,70±12,88 mm os sacrum'un maksimum genişliği 127,67±14,72 mm, ve sakral indeks 120,11±14,64 olarak bulunurken, aynı parametreler sırasıyla erkeklerde 118,87±14,03 mm, 126,45±12,77 mm, ve 108,48±16,50 olarak ölçüldü. Ayrıca, en sık görülen hiatus sacralis şekli kadınlarda U şekilli hiatus sacralis iken erkeklerde V şekilli hiatus sacralis olarak belirlendi. Aynı zamanda, os sacrum uzunluğu ve sakral indeks değerleri ve cinsiyet arasında anlamlı farklılık bulundu. Sonuç: Os sacrum'un anatomisinin bilinmesi ve morfometrik ölçümlerinin yapılması os sacrum'u ilgilendiren patolojilerde bu bölgeye uygulanacak girişimlerde ve oluşabilecek komplikasyonların önlenmesi açısından ortopedi uzmanı, kadın doğum uzmanı, pediatrist, anestezist ve anatomistler açısından kinik öneme sahiptir.
