Abstract

Introduction and Objective. Determination of the sex of skeletal remains is of great importance in forensic anthropology. Since skeletons can often be incomplete, sex assessment based on a single bone becomes useful. The aim of this study is to investigate the sexual dimorphism of the patella, and the accuracy of patellar measurements in determining the sex of an individual in a contemporary Polish population sample using computed tomography
