ABSTRACT
Background & Objective: Sex determination from skeletal remains is an important task for forensic experts in medico-legal cases. The present study was done to develop the statistical relationship of sexual polymorphism with the shape of the hyoid bone. Material and Methods: This is an observational study of a total of 100 hyoid bones, 50 males and 50 females, in different age groups were studied. Results: According to the study, hyoid bones were highly polymorphic in shape across the ages in both sexes. In adult males, V shape is more common (36%) when compared to U-shaped hyoid bone (34%) in adult females. Conclusion: To be more accurate, the study of hyoid bone alone will be inadequate in sex determination and needs to be considered along with the measurements of the other bones of the same individual.
