Abstract:
135 Chinese adult tibiae (69 males, 66 females)were measured. Statistic test shows that all 12 items of measurement have significant sex differences. For the purpose of determining sex from fragmentary tibia, 17 sex diseriminant functions for fragmentary tibia were calculated by means of stepwise discriminant analysis and Fisger's method. The diseriminant rate ranges from 79.3% to 821.4%. The present study shows that the proximal epiphyseal breadth,the distal epiphyseal breadth and the circumference at the level of the nutrient foramen have the most important value in identification of sex they can determine sex alone 79.3—80.2% correctly.
