Talus measurements as a diagnostic tool for sexual dimorphism in Egyptian population

Identification of sex and age for Egyptians using computed tomography of the first lumbar vertebra

“…Previous studies have been conducted on Egyptian samples to identify sex from different skeletal elements as talus measurements (Abd-elaleem et al, 2012), hand bones (Eshak et al, 2011), maxillary sinus (Amin and Hassan, 2012), foot and patella (Abdel Moneim et al, 2008), however, no Egyptian studies had been done on the first lumbar vertebra to determine both age and sex. Single study (Badr El Dine and El Shafei, 2015) was conducted for only sex determination from the first lumbar vertebra (L1) among Egyptians; they tested 24 measurements taken from CT of T12 and L1 to evaluate their role in sex identification.…”

Sex Determination in Egyptian Population from Scapula by Computed Tomography

“…Throughout life the scapular changes are not significant after development is finished [5,6], depending on these assumptions, researches already inspected the sexual diversity of the scapula in different populations [7]. With expanding interest for accurate sex determination; it is important to enhance variable estimation methods [8]. In Egypt, different bones were used for sex determinations [9,10].…”

Estimation of sex from scapular measurements using chest CT in Egyptian population sample

“…In Egypt, several bones were studied for sex determination as; hand bones [9], foot and patella [10], talus [11], calcaneus [12], femur [13], mandible [14], maxillary sinus [15] and pars petrosa ossis temporalis [16]. To our knowledge, this is the first study using scapula in the estimation of sex in modern Egyptian population.…”
