The objective of this study is to obtain whether forensic identification of the skeletal

structure of the hand bone is sufficient in determining the sex of the victim of a mass disaster or

criminal case. This study has analyzed the bones of 300 hands (150 males and 150 females, aged

between 20-60 years) from the staff of Bumrungrad International Hospital. It showsthe middle

finger on the right on both sexes is the most useful bone of stature estimation. Sexual

determination from phalange’s length shows higher prediction accuracy of sex determination than

from proximal inter-phalangeal joint wide at 75.7% and 62.3% respectively. The most useful of

sexual determination from proximal inter-phalangeal joint wide is the middle left in female = 58.0

% and from phalange’s length is thumb left in male = 79.2 %.The results show left finger is more

useful bone than the right one cause of less impact from regular activity. A suggestion in future

study is to collecting the hand bones from people in the same occupation and control the living

environment factor, the discriminant functions carried out by statistical analysis may aid the

forensic anthropologist when no other human skeletal remains suitable for identification are

available.

INTRODUCTION

Background and Rationale

Many countries throughout the world have recently suffered from disaster and

conflagration. Identification of bodies is an important area of forensic science that helps to

repatriate victims back to their families. There are many techniques that can be used to identify

the body, even though in some cases, only some parts of the body are recovered.

This study aims to determine gender and estimate body structure through the

examination of the bones of the hand. Usually these factors are determined from examination of

the skull or pelvis; however it is not uncommon for these parts of the skeleton to be missing or

broken into fragments. In consideration of this, it will be of great benefit to forensic science if

gender can be determined from other parts of remains. In addition, identification by considering

bone structure is less time consuming, more financially economical, less complex and more

effective. Although, hand bone gender determination wouldn’t conclusively identify the victim it

will reduce the number of possible matches by 50% and estimate to nearest stature of victim only

but it would be useful in the order to give us a basic information to identify our victim which was

found at the crime scene.

Objectives

It’s to determine gender from phalanges and find correlation between

phalanges’s length and structure.

Hypothesis

Gender determination could be consider from hand bone and lengths of each

phalanges should have correlation with structure.

Expected benefits and application Determination gender from hand bone would be benefit in forensic science and

estimation of structure bodies could be considering from the lengths of phalanges.

Limitation Determination gender and estimation structure of body could not be considered

under person who has metabolic bone disease such as osteoarthritis and arthritis.

Scope of Research This research is to determine gender and estimate approx. bodies’ structure by

analyzing from phalanges. We will measure length from distal, middle and proximal phalanges

including the circumference from inter-phalangeal joint and proximal inter-phalangeal joint which

will be recorded gender and stature from the staff of Bumrungrad International Hospital 300

cases. The person who has metabolic bone disease will be excluding from this research.

Definitions Phalanges is long bones of the fingers or toes, numbering 14 for each hand or foot:

two for the thumb or big toe, and three each for the other four digits

Anthropology is the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and

space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture

Proximal inter-phalangeal joint is joints between the phalanges of the fingers or toes, Stature is

the natural height of a human or animal in an upright position

REVIEW LITERATURE

History of Forensic Anthropology

Fig 1. W. M. Krogman who published “A Guide to the Identification of Human Skeletal

Material" in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin.

The forensic in physical anthropology’s knowledge has been started about 100 years

ago in the United States [1]. Later in year 1939; W.M. Krogman published "A Guide to the

Identification of Human Skeletal Material" in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin,which been the

second period of forensic anthropology development.

During the times of World War II and the Korean War, physical anthropologist has

been involved to identify the departed victims of the war. The standard information of skeletal

development and variation in American populations inspired significant and systematic data

gathering and analysis are also needed. These became an important point of contribution in

Page 16: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

forensic anthropology’s visibility within the world of physical anthropology, and in the forensic

community.

The Physical Anthropology Section of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences

was established in 1972. Since then, 14 members has been expanded to over 200 members and is

still quickly growing. In 1977, division members formed the American Board of Forensic

Anthropology (ABFA) to examine and certify forensic physical anthropologists at the

postdoctoral level.

Forensic anthropologists [2] apply standard scientific techniques todevelop the

physical anthropology in the order to identify human remains, and to assist in the detection of

crime. The physical anthropologist’s ability is to understand the forms and variations of the

human skeleton in individuals and population complements the forensic pathologist’s emphasis

on soft tissue. Therefore, the application of knowledge concerning human skeleton biology has

been basis of forensic anthropology as a profession. Although, this focus has expanded by some

specialists to include: forensic taphonomy, which is the interpretation of mostly outdoor death

scenes and postmortem (after death) processes, and forensic archaeology, the recovery of

scattered or buried remains.

The examination process of human remains by the forensic anthropologist includes

three tasks. One of those tasks is providing a biological profile (age, sex, stature, ancestry,

anomalies, pathology, individual features) of the victim. The second task would be recreating the

postmortem period based on the condition of the remains and the recovery environment. Lastly,

they would provide data regarding the death event, including evidence of trauma occurring during

the per mortem period (time of the death).

Page 17: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

Fig 2. Remain from crime scene including skull, pelvis, fever, tibia and hair.

Taphonomy

Forensic Anthropologists are often called upon to partake in or even direct body

recoveries in outdoor settings. Knowledge about the human physical form and function must be

combined with scientific knowledge concerning postmortem changes in order to understand the

condition of human remains. For example, in an outdoor scene, these changes can be

characterized as decomposition of a body, alterations, scattering by scavengers, freezing, and the

like. Postmortem changes must be distinguished from ante mortem (immediately before death)

conditions in order for the anthropologist to estimate the correct time of death and so on.

Archaeology

Archaeology is a method of vital tools for the forensic anthropologist handling

recoveries, mainly when remains have been buried or scattered. Usually archaeology would be

included: infrared photography, metal detectors, and ground-penetrating radar. Accurate methods

of excavating buried remains can be critical in the location and interpretation of trace evidence

linked with the bodies. Archaeological methods demand complete documentation of the history

for each artifact, so maintaining a record for each piece of evidence recovered at a scene is a

normal part of the excavation process.

Page 18: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

6

Processing at crime scene.

Forensic physical anthropologist regularly participates in searches by law

enforcement or medical examiner officials. They can also participate in the recovery of remains in

a mass fatality incident or human rights investigation. These searches may be focused on a certain

location or a broad area. They may be done in conjunction with search and rescue teams, cadaver

dogs (dogs trained to find the scent of a decomposing body), or divers.

Processing a scene containing buried remains requires a significant amount of effort

and experience, especially if the remains are decomposed or skeletal. First, the area to be

examined will be gridded in order to preserve the information and layout of the scene. Before any

work is started, the area must be photographed and documented. Any living plants or insects

directly associated with the body after death must be collected. The excavation process involves

using small instruments such as the trowel(a shovel-like digging tool) and brushes. These tools

prevent any damage to the deteriorating tissue of the decomposing bodies. Once certain body

parts are photographed, they are usually bagged in order to prevent loss of small bones,

fingernails, teeth, or any other evidence.

Fig 3. Instruments needed such as the trowel (a shovel-like digging tool) and brushes.

The Forensic Anthropologist have to study about the bones because of the bones

often survive the process of decay and provide the main evidence for the human form after death.

Also the application of the science of physical anthropology is a legal process. Moreover the

identification of skeletal is hardly decomposed which is unidentified human remains is important

Page 19: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

7

for both legal and humanitarian reasons. Forensic anthropologists always apply standard scientific

techniques to develop the physical anthropology for identify human remains, and to assist in the

detection of crime. Forensic anthropologists frequently work in conjunction with forensic

pathologists, odontologists, and homicide investigators to identify a decedent, discover evidence

of foul play, and/or the postmortem interval. In addition to assisting in locating and recovering

suspicious remains, forensic anthropologists work to suggest the age, sex, ancestry, stature, and

unique features of a decedent from the skeleton."

Forensic Anthropologist is varying as there are crimes, people and places. After the

attacks on September 11, 2001, Forensic Anthropologists were deployed to a base in Delaware to

begin the tedious process of identifying bone fragments and teeth. They may be called upon to

identify bones and bone fragments placed at universities and museums.

When skeletonized remains are discovered, one needs to establish first if the bones are human. If

so, the sex, race, age, stature, weight, and any pathology of the newly acquired skeleton must be

established in order to make an identification of the remains, determine manner and cause of

death and, if homicide, identify the murderer. It is the job of the Forensic Anthropologist to

pursue these matters, make a report and possibly testify in court.

In recent years, just as the investigation of a crime scene has become more complex and

sophisticated, so has the task of the forensic anthropologist. Forensic anthropologists assist edictal

and legal specialists to identify known or suspected human remains.

The science of forensic anthropology includes archeological excavation; examination

of hair, insects, plant materials and footprints; determination of elapsed time since death; facial

reproduction; photographic superimposition; detection of anatomical variants; and analysis of past

injury and medical treatment. However, in practice, forensic anthropologists primarily help to

identify a decedent based on the available evidence.

For example, when a skeleton found in a wooded area is brought to a morgue or an

anthropologist's laboratory for examination, the first step is to determine whether the remains are

human, animal, or inorganic material. If human, an anthropologist then attempts to estimate age at

death, racial affiliation, sex, and stature of the decedent.

Page 20: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

8

If the skeleton shows evidence of prolonged burial or is accompanied by coffin nails

or arrow index, it usually represents an historic or prehistoric burial rather than a recent death.

Construction crews frequently unearth such skeletons during road or housing excavations. After

combining all of the evidence, the anthropologist determines the skeleton's possible significance

to medical and legal authorities.

Although the primary task of anthropologists is to establish the identity of a

decedent, increasingly they provide expert opinion on the type and size of weapon(s) used and the

number of blows sustained by victims of violent crime. It should be noted, however, that forensic

pathologists or related experts in forensic medicine determine the cause or manner of death, not

the forensic anthropologist.

Most anthropologists have advanced degrees in anthropology and have examined

hundreds of remains. They are also thoroughly familiar with human anatomy and how it varies in

different populations. Some anthropologists may also have experience in police science or

medicine, as well as in serology, toxicology, firearms and tool marks identification, crime scene

investigation, handling of evidence, and photography. A limited number of anthropologists deal

with footprint analysis and species identification of carrion insects in relation to estimating time

elapsed since death.

Perhaps the anthropologist's most valuable skill is familiarity with subtle variations

in the human skeleton. Although most adult skeletons have the same number of bones (206), no

two skeletons are identical. Therefore, observations of patterns or unique skeletal traits frequently

lead to positive identifications. The most frequently used method for identification is to compare

before- and after-death dental photo images. If such photo images do not exist, or if they are

unavailable, then old skeletal injuries or anatomical skeletal variants revealed in other photo

images may provide the comparative evidence necessary to establish a positive identification.

Hypothetical Example

Suppose hunters find a partially clothed skeleton lying on the ground in a heavily

wooded area with much of its clothing torn and scattered by carnivores. Law enforcement officers

are called to the scene, as is the medical examiner or non-physician coroner. The scene is

Page 21: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

9

photographed in detail, and the skeleton is examined and photographed before being removed to

the city morgue.

At the morgue, the medical examiner examines the remains for evidence of trauma,

such as stab marks in the shirt, blunt trauma to the skull and mandible, and broken bones. Photo

images and photographs of the body show that no bullets or pellets having been noted. Also,

examination of the clothing reveals no wallet or other personal identification.

The medical examiner determines through measurement of the pubic area that the

remains are those of a middle-aged adult male. There is no evidence of facial or head hair to aid

in determining racial affiliation. From measurements taken at the scene, the examiner roughly

estimates the stature. Also, a forensic odontology is called in to take dental photo images.

Although the decedent has a number of large dental cavities, he shows no restorations or evidence

of having seen a dentist. At this index, the medical examiner requests assistance from a forensic

anthropologist, who conducts further study of the remains in the laboratory.

The forensic anthropologist's examination confirms the medical examiner's findings

that the individual is a middle-aged male. However, questions remain that the forensic

anthropologist must answer, such as:

What is the individual's racial affiliation?

What is the individual's age and stature?

How long has the individual been dead?

Is there any evidence of trauma or foul play at or near the time of death?

Are there any distinguishing skeletal traits that may aid in establishing the identity?

Is there any indication of post-mortem treatment or alteration of the remains?

Racial Affiliation

The question of racial affiliation is difficult to answer because, although racial

classification has some biological components, it is based primarily on social affiliation.

Nevertheless, some anatomical details, especially in the face, often suggest the individual's race.

In particular, white individuals have narrower faces with high noses and prominent chins. Black

individuals have wider nasal openings and sub nasal grooves. American Indians and Asians have

forward-projecting cheekbones and specialized dental features.

Page 22: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

10

Examination of this skeleton reveals traits consistent with white racial affiliation.

Further examination of the skull produces a few strands of straight blonde hair. Microscopic

examination shows the hair to be consistent with that of a white person.

Age and Stature

Usually, examination of the pubic bone, sacroiliac joint, amount of dental wear,

cranium, arthritic changes in the spine, and microscopic studies of bones and teeth narrows the

age estimate given by the anthropologist. After examining the skeleton, these indicators suggest

that the man was between 35 and 45 years of age at the time of death.

Estimation of stature can be narrowed by measuring one or more complete long

bones, preferably a femur or tibia. If stature estimates are based on incomplete long bones, less

confidence can be placed in them. This measurement of the maximum length of the bone can then

be plugged into a formula based on race and sex to produce an estimate. In this case the

individual's stature was estimated at 5'7'' to 5'9'' with a mean stature of 5'8.''

Time Interval since Death

Estimating the time interval since death can be extremely difficult. For the most part,

such an estimate is based on the amount and condition of soft tissue, such as muscle, skin, and

ligaments present, the preservation of the bones, extent of associated plant root growth, odor, and

any carnivore and insect activity. However, many other variables must also be considered,

including the temperature at the time of death, penetrating wounds, humidity/aridity, soil acidity,

and water retention. The longer the time since death, the more difficult it is to determine the time

interval since death. In this hypothetical example, the anthropologist determined that the

individual died 6 to 9 months previously, based largely on the condition of the soft tissue and the

amount of root growth in the individual's clothing.

Evidence of Trauma

After the dirt and forest debris were removed from the bones using water and a soft

brush, a number of faint cuts became visible in the left ribs and the mid-back. The number of

Page 23: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

11

discrete cuts in three ribs and in one vertebra suggest that this male was stabbed a minimum of

three times. No additional evidence of trauma.

Distinguishing Skeletal Traits

Further examination revealed that the male sustained a fracture above his right eye

and upper jaw bone at least several years before death. The individual also had a severely

deviated nasal septum and presented evidence of a severe chronic nasal infection. This

observation is noteworthy because if he sought medical help for the fractures or sinus condition,

photoimages may have been taken that would provide an excellent opportunity for positive

identification.

Post-Examination Procedures

After the forensic anthropologist completes the examination, the medical examiner

provides all information obtained from the skeleton to the law enforcement officials investigating

the case. The information is then entered in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC).

In this hypothetical case, after several months, a search failed to locate a missing person matching

this description. Therefore, the medical examiner and the detectives returned to the forensic

anthropologist to request that a facial reproduction be attempted.

Two approaches are available to an anthropologist in reconstructing facial

appearance during life. First, the anthropologist could work with a composite artist experienced in

rendering sketches based on information supplied by eyewitnesses. Or, the anthropologist could

call in a specialist in three-dimensional facial reproduction, a technique in which the head is

constructed in clay directly over the skull and mandible or over good casts of them. Because of

limited funds, and because an experienced composite artist is available on staff, the forensic

anthropologist and artist worked together to produce a drawing of the person represented by the

skeletal remains. This drawing was then made available to the public via the local media.

Shortly thereafter, two unrelated men who had seen the image on television came forward

because they thought that it might be a relative. Medical and dental records for both individuals

could not be located, but facial photographs taken within the last 2 years were available.

Page 24: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

12

Using new techniques of photographic superimposition and comparison, the forensic

anthropologist excluded one of the individuals outright. However, frontal photo images of the

second individual taken 3 years before death showed the individual was treated for facial injuries

sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The configuration of the frontal sinuses on the photo

images matched exactly the photo images of the recovered skull, thereby positively identifying

the victim.

Value of Forensic Anthropology

A forensic anthropologist makes significant contributions to an investigation. The

greatest of these could well be the anthropologist's intensive training and experience in

distinguishing between human and nonhuman remains, determining age at death, racial affiliation,

sex, stature, elapsed time since death, skeletal trauma, post-mortem damage and alteration of the

skeleton, and establishing positive identification based on skeletal and dental evidence. Such

information can be obtained from complete bodies or those partially destroyed by burning, air

crashes, intentional mutilation and dismemberment, explosions, or other mass disasters. In fact, a

forensic anthropologist is now an integral member of most mass disaster teams.

Through their anthropological training, most forensic anthropologists have

knowledge of excavation techniques and mapping that are invaluable in recovering evidence.

Consequently, the forensic anthropologist should participate in the investigation of the crime

scene and, especially, in the recovery of human skeletal remains.

Conclusion

Many forensic anthropologists offer their services to law enforcement agencies,

coroners, and medical examiners. However, if a law enforcement agency does not have access to

a forensic anthropologist, experienced experts can be found in many of the larger universities, in

anthropology museums throughout the United States, and in some medical examiner's offices. It

should be noted, however, that not all physical anthropologists are qualified to practice forensic

anthropology. A list of board certified forensic anthropologists can be obtained from the

American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Forensic anthropologists have much to contribute to

law enforcement and would welcome the opportunity to assist in the successful resolution of an

investigation.

Inventory and Profile

The Forensic Anthropologist will make a complete inventory of the bones received.

A sample inventory is show on the Case Report page and is always part of the final report

prepared on the case. The inventory used for this research is based on a partial skeleton recently

acquired by Kutztown University. For the purpose of this research, I will refer to the skeleton as

"Earl."

Fig 5. Human skeleton (A typical adulthuman skeleton consists of 206 bones. Individuals may

have more or fewer bones than this owing to anatomical variations. The most common variations

include additional (i.e. supernumerary) cervical ribs or lumbar vertebra. Sesamoidbone number

can also vary between individuals. The figure of 206 bones is commonly repeated but must be

noted to have some peculiarities in its method of counting).

As part of the inventory, generalized, non-specific words such as "cranium" are not

general used; rather, the specific bone that is present is described in detail. If three bones of the

skull are present and in good condition, each of the bones will be identified and described as

having no anomalies or pathology. For example, if the left parietal, the occipital, and the right

mastoid process were all that remained of the skull in question, they would be listed

independently in the inventory. If the skull is complete, that would be stated.

Sex and Race

After completing the inventory, determinations must be made regarding sex and race.

We can sometimes get into a rut because in order to determine sex, we need to know the race. But

in order to determine the race, we need to determine the sex. Direct observation of certain features

help in the preliminary determination, however in order to deal with any inherent problems that

may come up, a number of measurements are taken of the skull and pelvis. In direct observation,

a trained eye and touch can separate male from female using the supraorbital margin, mastoid

process and genial flare parts of the skull. However, most important in direct observation is the

pelvis.

Age

The best bet in determining the age of a sub-adult skeleton is examination of the

teeth and jaw, when present. However, a comparative analysis may be made using the skull

sutures and epiphyseal fusion in the young-adult skeleton. Sutures are the zigzag "seams" where

the bones of the skull meet. Endocranial sutures (inside the skull) are more reliable as an aging

method than is ectocranial suture analysis. Epiphyseal fusion refers to the closing of the "growth

plates" at the ends of the long bones and clavicle, and iliac crest fusion. The teeth also become

important later in the identification of a specific individual.

Stature is determined using the another type of formula called "Regression Formula

for Estimating Maximum Living Stature (with standard errors) from Maximum Long Bone

Length" of the Humerus5. Optimally, the Forensic Anthropologist will have all 6 upper long

bones and all 6 lower long bones. Using the average of both right and left humeri, both right and

left ulnae and both right and left radii, along with the average of both right and left tibia, both

right and left fibulae and both right and left femurs, including the standard error, one can arrive at

a fairly accurate estimation of stature. This range is then used to estimate weight. An osteometric

board is used for obtaining precise measurements of the long bones. Weight is a function of the

stature determination. The end result will be a range of statures and weights based on the average

standard error.

Stature

3.26 x (humerus) + 62.10 = stature +/-4.43cm

3.42 x (radius) + 81.56 = stature +/-4.30

3.26 x (ulna) + 78.29 = stature +/-4.42

Estimating Time of Death

The first question to be asked and probably the most difficult to answer is "how long

has it been dead?" Bones do not decay as skin and soft tissue do, but they are subject to

weathering and scatter (taphonomy). Animal scattering of bones can destroy the context of the

crime scene and gnaw marks destroy actual bone. If a body is buried, insectscannot get at it, but

micro-organisms can. The acidity of soil will have an effect on bone.

Condition of bone depends on the type of burial or exposure along with temperature.

The "Body Farm" at the University of TN at Knoxville is a research facility dedicated to the

estimation of time of death. Bodies are in all stages of decay and students and faculty

meticulously record animal activity, smells, body temperatures, weather conditions. Early into the

decay process, a fair amount of skin and soft tissue remain and smells are at their worst. A partial

skeletalized body is one in which the bones are still articulated by cartilage and ligaments.

When a body is left on the surface, insect activity will begin immediately and within

2 weeks the body will be partially skeletalized, completely skeletalized within 8 months. If

buried, it will take between 1 and 2 years to become completely skeletalized and in arid areas may

become mummified.

Page 35: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

23

Bone rot takes many years, and acidity in the soil speeds it up. Scatter is important to

the Forensic Anthropologist in estimating time of death/burial. The number and types of bones

available at the scene indicates the amount of time the body has been in that spot, i.e. smaller

bones get lost first.

TOD estimates based on environmental factors are from research in Tennessee as follows:

3 weeks -- articulated bones

5 weeks -- some scatter, some articulated

4 months -- disarticulated, within 10' circle

7 to 8 months -- most bones w/in 10' circle and all w/in 20'

1 year -- small bones missing, complete disarticulation

2 to 4 years -- some bones broken, scatterd 40', some large bones missing

12+ years -- bone rot; partial burial*

15 to 20 years -- no surface evidence

* partial burial from leaves, storms, erosion from shallow burial

Fabrics may aid the forensic scientist and/or detective in determining length of time since death.

Decay of fabrics is based on what the materials are and how long they've been there. Styles of

shoes and clothing also help pinindex dates. Below is a chart representing the most common types

of fabrics and exposure to various elements over time?

Table 2. TOD estimation based on kind of fabrics.

Cotton/Poly 15 on surface 25 to 35 if buried

Other Plastics/Leather 15 to 35 on surface >48 if buried

Manner and Cause of Death

Manner of death refers to the 5 possibilities: homicide, suicide, accidental, natural

and unknown. Cause of death refers to injury or disease, or combination that results in death and

could take months/years. Determining the cause of death is easier with a fleshed body and very

difficult with the flesh and organs gone.

Taking X-rays of the skeletal material is very important. One may note old damage

to bone that has healed, indicating that this injury did not directly lead to death. Damage from

metal objects leaves fragmented metal or metal shavings and saw tooth shavings will show up

bright white on X-ray. Bullets will leave fragments of lead.

Hand bones

The hand consists of 54 bones separated into three distinct regions, the wrist, the

palm, and the finger digits. The hand’s primary function is to allow the body to manipulate with

its environment, such as grasping and touching objects. Furthermore, the fingertips contain one of

the most densest regions of nerve endings in the human body [3].

Phalanges of hands

The phalanges of the hand are commonly known as the finger bones [4]. They are

fourteen in number, three for each finger, and two for the thumb.

Each consists of a body and two extremities.

The body tapers from above downward, is convex posteriorly, concave in front from

above downward, flat from side to side; its sides are marked by rough areas which give

attachment to the fibrous sheaths of the flexor tendons.

Page 38: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

26

The proximal extremities of the bones of the first row present oval, concave articular

surfaces, broader from side to side than from front to back. The proximal extremity of each of the

bones of the second and third rows presents a double concavity separated by a median ridge.

The distal extremities are smaller than the proximal, and each ends in two condyles

(knuckles) separated by a shallow groove; the articular surface extends farther on the volar than

on the dorsal surface, a condition best marked in the bones of the first row.

The ungual phalanges, those most distal, are convex on their dorsal and flat on their

volar surfaces; they are recognized by their small size, and by a roughened, elevated surface of a

horseshoe form on the volar surface of the distal extremity of each which serves to support the

sensitive pulp of the finger.

Articulations.—In the four fingers the phalanges of the first row articulate with those

of the second row and with the metacarpals; the phalanges of the second row with those of the

first and third rows, and the ungual phalanges with those of the second row. In the thumb, which

has only two phalanges, the first phalanx articulates by its proximal extremity with the metacarpal

bone and by its distal with the ungual phalanx

Occasionally an additional bone, the oscentrale, is found on the back of the carpus,

lying between the navicular, lesser multangular, and capitate. During the second month of fetal

life it is represented by a small cartilaginous nodule, which usually fuses with the cartilaginous

navicular. Sometimes the styloid process of the third metacarpal is detached and forms an

additional ossicle.

In the ungual phalanges the centers for the bodies appear at the distal extremities of

the phalanges, instead of at the middle of the bodies, as in the other phalanges. Moreover, of all

the bones of the hand, the ungual phalanges are the first to ossify. The phalanges consist of three

sections. The proximal phalanges, the intermediate phalanges, and the distal phalanges.

Collectively, these bones make up the structure known as the fingers. (Diagram of the phalanges

is show at the top of the page).

Page 39: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

27

Proximal Phalanges

The proximal phalanges are found at the base of the fingers, closest to the carpus.

These bones are longer than the carpal bones and play an important role in motion.

Intermediate Phalanges

The intermediate phalanges are found in between the proximal phalanges and distal

phalanges. There are four intermediate phalanges found on each hand, the only fingers that lacks

the intermediate phalanges are the thumbs. Like the distal phalanges, the intermediate phalanges

play an important role in motion and support of the hand.

Distal Phalanges

The distal phalanges are a series of bones found at the tip of the hand, following the

intermediate phalanges. The distal phalanges consist of five bones per hand and thus contribute a

total of ten bones to the human skeleton. These bones play an important role in movement and

functions of the hand.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The object of the research is aim to study about evaluation of the reliability of hand

bones. This is a descriptive and inferential statistic in order to determination gender and

estimation stature of victims by measure the length of phalange and width of proximal inter-

metacarpal phalangeal joint. Since we had reviewed the literature from Mania University as they

measured the length of phalange from the top of finger to the third of foldable joint but if we

review the anatomy theory carefully the phalange bone will appear all the way through

metacarpo-phalangeal joint isn’t the third of foldable joint instead. So this experiment we had

measured from the top of finger to metacarpo-phalangeal joint from alive people in the order to

record length of phalanges and for sexual determination,we had measured theproximal inter-

phalangeal joint’s width by using vernier caliper (Absolute Digimatic Caliper Series 500) Made

in Japan on both issue before analyze by SPSS

RESULTS

The result of stature estimation shows the length of middle left finger is the most useful

bone in the order to estimate stature which the mean on male show longer length than female. The

measurement in female show the middle, ring and little are statistically significant bilateral

difference and all male’s phalanges’s length and thumb, index in female aren’t statistically

significant bilateral difference. The correction of this study shows 80% by blind test. In the

meantime sexual determination indicated that phalange’s length is more useful bone than

proximal inter-phalangeal joint’s width in the order of sexual determination with classification

accuracy = 52.0%-79.2% and 50.7%-58.7%, respectively.

Determine sex from proximal inter-phalangeal joint width is 62.3% and the most useful

bone is thumb left in female and little left in male with 45% correction by blind test and from

phalange’s length is thumb left on both sexes with 60% correction by blind test.)

As table 7the illustrates the correlation coefficients between stature and lengths of each phalange

on left and right sides in both sexes following.

Regarding to the phalanges’s lengths, it is observed that the left middle phalange on

both sexes (L3) gives the highest correlation with stature(r = 0.571and 0.136), respectively.

The second rank in correlation of stature in female and male show as right middle

phalange (r= 0.538 and 0.014), respectively

The regression analysis of stature estimation formulas from each phalange’s length is

linearity of relationships with stature, are significant at 0.05 and the regression formulas for

determine the stature from length of phalanges in both sex would be compute from = a+(bx)±c;

where “a” is the regression coefficient of the independent variable (constant) method), “b” is the

regression coefficient of each sample phalange’s length and “c” is the Std. Error of the Estimate.

All variable above (a,b,c) computed from linear regression in spss method. [7, 10]

DISCUSSION

The statistics for stature and phalanges ’length on both the sexes. Mean value,

standard deviation, and standard error of mean of hand and phalanges lengths in males ‘cases are

higher than female’s cases by independent sample t-test and depicts the bilateral differences by

paired t-test in phalange’s length on both sexes shows that there are no statistically significant

bilateral difference except in the middle, ring and little fingers in females. The most useful bone

for this study is mostly from left side because the general people using the right hand for activity.

So the left hand bone is less impact than right hand. Moreover sexual determination from

proximal inter-phalangeal joint width is only 45% correction reason of our female sample is a

nurse but male sample is back officer service which they have a different activity. Nurse(s) who

always doing more tough activity than back office staff. The correlation coefficient between

stature and lengths of hands and phalanges on both sexes as table 21.

By discriminant function analysis, their results show that the phalange’s length are

better than the proximal inter-phalangeal joint’s width for ability of determine gender correctly.

They achieved 62.3 % accuracy by using phalange’s length and 75.7% by using proximal inter

phalangeal joint’s width. Sexual prediction is more reliable in case of Thai males than in

females.The cut off values (mm) and accuracy percentage for sexual determination from proximal

inter-phalangeal joint’s width and phalange’s length as table22 and table 23 below.

As per blind test of 10 samples above, the stature of victim could be estimate from

phalanges length of 8 samples and the most useful bone is L2,L3,L4,L5,R2 and R3 = 80%,70%

=R4 and 60% = L1,R5 respectively.

The result of sexual determination from blind test is also support to the result above

which the phalange’s length is more accuracy than proximal inter-phalangeal joint’s width.

The living environment of sample such as biological origin of a population sample is

(genetic), a restrictive factor in the use various of lifestyle, activities, food and career could be

affected to phalanges’ s length directly. People who doing a tough sport such as basketball,

volleyball could have phalange’s length longer than the person who didn’t usually work out. For

Page 71: STATURE ESTIMATION AND SEX DETERMINATION: AN …

the above reasons, linear discriminant function equations were developed on a modern Thai

population only

Future study could be included the other part of proximal inter-phalngeal joint’s

width and control the kind of lifestyle of sample such as working behavior, age, would be show

more accuracy of these test discriminant equations in Thai’s sex determination. In addition, the

results of the present work may be used for the determination of sex of skeletons from forensic

contexts.
