“…Thus, in our research, EFA, carried out through the SHAPE software, was preferred as the second shape analysis method. Studies that carry out shape analysis with the EFA method based on quantitative evidence are available in the literature (6,12,19,31,32).…”

“…The SHAPE software also creates a drawing of each PC in the sample, allowing the researcher to observe how that aspect of the shape changes across its endpoints. The mean shape of a significant PC is given as the reference point, and shapes within ±2 standard deviations from the mean shape are also produced (12). In order to perform the quantitative shape analysis of the OF, the OF images in the position described in Figure 2 were transferred to the SHAPE software after processing with the technical adjustments required by the software.…”

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the shape and morphometric features of the obturator foramen (OF) in dry human bones. Methods: Forty-six (Right:15, Left:31) dry human coxal bones were evaluated. Photographs of samples for morphometric measurements were taken using a transparent osteometric box (TOB) designed for this study. Horizontal and vertical diameters of OF were measured according to two different principles. Measurements were taken to determine the localization of OF on the coxal bone (hip bone) relative to the acetabulum, pubis, and ischium. Shape analysis (visual typing) of OF was performed with the conventional method. In order to examine the shape variations of the OF in more detail, quantitative shape analysis based on Elliptic Fourier Analysis was performed with the SHAPE software. Results: A significant difference was observed between the diameter measurements obtained by the two methods (p
