Introduction: Morphometric analysis of the patella has been reported to be important in
forensic identification, implant design and in some reconstructive procedures of the knee …

Background A key step in making a positive identification in forensic medicine is the
establishment of a biological profile, which involves determining factors such as gender …

In forensic anthropological identification of human remains and single bones, computed
tomography (CT) data analysis facilitates volumetric and radiographic density analyses, and …

The biological profile estimation is the first step toward positive identification. However, it is
not always possible to access a complete and well-preserved skeleton due to postmortem …

Introduction and purpose: Human skeleton-based sex estimation is a major topic of interest
for forensic anthropologists. Various bones have been examined for sex heterogeneity. The …

Objectives In forensic identification, pelvis, post cranial bones especially long bones and
skull are considered best for sex estimation. But there are circumstances where these bones …

Background For many years, sex determination has been achieved through analysis of
skeletal remains in forensic medicine. The patella can be utilized for sex determination in the …

to determine the sex of the individuals on the basis of the skeletal remains and to set limit …

Background: Patella resists taphonomic conditions and is commonly found as a complete
bone after death. Thus, it gained attention as an identification tool, particularly with the …

Background. The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body; its three‐dimensional
