ABSTRACT
Background: Due to increase events of mass disaster and brutal murders, dismembered body parts are sent for post-mortem examination every now and then. Estimation of stature from dismembered body parts can play a vital role for identification of persons. This study can be helpful in such cases to estimate stature from the percutaneous length of Tibia, when an isolated lower limb is found. Aims & Objectives: Present study was carried out to derive a regression formula and multiplication factor to estimate stature from the percutaneous length of Tibia for population in and around the Rajkot region of Gujarat. Methods: Total 100 male and 100 female cases were randomly selected from cadavers brought for postmortem examination at mortuary of P. D. U. Govt. Medical College and Hospital, Rajkot. Stature was measured with measuring tape and a percutaneous length of Tibia was measured by Sliding caliper after breaking Rigor mortis, if developed. Collected data were statistically analysed using software like Epi info 7 and Microsoft excel 2007. Results: There was no significant bilateral difference in percutaneous length of the Tibia (p>0.05). Mean stature as well as mean percutaneous length of Tibia were significantly higher for male than for female (p<0.05). Regression formula and multiplication factor derived from the present study are useful for population in and around the Rajkot region of Gujarat to estimate stature from the percutaneous length of Tibia.
Key-words: Forensic anthropology, Anthropometry, Biological profile, Stature, Percutaneous length of Tibia.
