Where as in other studies the values are more c ompared to the present study which may be due racial difference [4,10,16].…”

Background: Morphometrical evaluation of the larynx has always been interesting for both morphologists and the physicians. Accurate anatomic knowledge of laryngeal cartilage is essential in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the field of laryngology.Aim: To study morphometric features of thyroid cartilage in adult human cadavers and also to correlate the measurements of the thyroid cartilage between male and female.Materials and Methods: Thyroid cartilages from 62 cases (Male: 31, Female: 31) of postmortem in the department of Forensic medicine, MMC and RI, Mysore were studied. A total of seven parameters were measured on each thyroid cartilage and the observations were tabulated and compared between both sexes.Results: All parameters of Thyroid cartilage were more in males compared to females except thyroid angle which was more in females. The height of right thyroid lamina was equal to the height of left thyroid lamina in both males and females. Similarly the Antero-posterior distance of right thyroid lamina was equal to Anteroposterior distance of left thyroid lamina in both sexes. Conclusion:Considerable gender and race related differences in many of the geometric measurements of the thyroid cartilage were observed in the study. These morphological differences have important clinical and surgical implications. They are critical to the accurate placement of needles and probes in laryngeal electro myography and vocal cord injection, medialization procedures, in performing supraglottic laryngectomy, as well as precise planning of laryngeal framework surgery.

“…It is emphasized that this approach avoids the necessity of removing the entire larynx [9]. It is believed that the identification of sex is possible on the basis of morphometric analysis of thyroid cartilage in Koreans [10]. The most common form of committing suicide in our region is "hanging" followed by strangulation.…”

“…The discriminant value for the length of the humerus has been calculated for various Asian populations, including Thai, Japanese, and Chinese. Sex determination has been done using the skull, mandible, pelvic bone, hyoid bone [16], corpus callosum [17], and thyroid cartilage in the Korean population [18].…”

“…However, humerus, radius, and ulna values have yet to be determined for the Korean population. Sex determination reports have been published for the pelvic bone [ 21 ], skull [ 22 , 23 ], corpus callosum [ 24 , 25 ], hyoid bone [ 26 ], thyroid cartilage [ 27 ], and mandible [ 28 , 29 ] in Korean sample populations.…”

Sex determination using upper limb bones in Korean populations

The purpose of this research is to establish metric standards for the determination of sex from the upper limb bones of Korean. We took a set of eleven measurements on each of 175 right sides of adult skeletons chosen at Korean sample. Classification accuracy dropped only one or two individuals when only vertical head diameter of humerus is used. Variables in relation with maximal length were less accurate than head diameter of humerus. Two variables were selected by the stepwise procedure: maximal length of humerus, vertical head diameter of humerus. The combined accuracy was 87%. This study of modern Korean skeletons underscores the need for population-specific techniques, not only for medicolegal investigations, but also for the study of population affinities and factors affecting bone configurations.
