Abstract:
Background: It is aimed to contribute to the literature for clinical use by making morphometric measurements on both dry bone and radiographic images of calcaneus, which can preserve its integrity for a long time after death, and to contribute to creating a biological reference for the Turkish population in the fields of gender estimation, forensic medicine, anthropology and archeology.
Materials and Methods: According to the literature, reference measurement parameters were determined on radiography images of 504 right foot, and 47 calcaneus whose sex and age were unknown as dry bone. Determined parameters were measured using Horos Project open source software in radiographs and digital caliper in dry bones. In dry bones, calcaneus was typified according to the talar joint surface. Finally, gender estimation was performed by ROC analysis according to the data obtained from radiography images. Results: The mean age of 504 (254 F, 250 M) radiographs was 48.82±19.91 years. When the determined parameters were compared according to sex, all parameters were found to be higher in men than in women, and a statistically significant difference was found (p & lt;0.05). In the correlation analysis, a very high positive correlation was observed between maximum width and body width and maximum height, and between maximum length and minimum length (p & lt;0.005; 0.8
