Abstract
Heretofore, sex determination has been carried out on skeletal remains to identify
individuals in forensic cases and to assess populations in archaeological cases. Since
it has been shown that not all bones are found in a forensic case, discriminant function
equations should be derived for various bones of the body to assist in sex determination.
The aim of this study was to derive discriminant function equations for sex determination
from measurements of the patella.
