Morphometric Parameters of the Radius and its Variations Can Play a Significant Role in Sex Dimorphism

Background: In this study, we aim to measure the radius's various morphometric properties its length, breadth, diameters, and indices to see how these traits differ between the sexes and to find statistically significant differences between the two sets of measurements. Material and Methods: The purpose of this research was to examine the morphometric and morphological features of adult Central Indian population dry radius bones. Most of the talk revolved around sexual dimorphism and side-by-side disparities. Fifty adult human dry radii bones were retrieved from the archaeological collection at Indore's Index Medical College & Research Center. Included in the collection were bones that retained all of their original structure and had complete anatomical identification. While using a digital Vernier caliper to measure typical morphometric parameters, we looked at the mean value to see how much variation there was between the observers. Results: The right side consistently exhibits marginally higher values in both sexes, suggesting a trend toward dominant-side enhancement. There is a statistically significant difference was noted between both the genders in all the radius measured parameters including Maximum Length of Radius (243.65 vs. 223.6), Head Diameter of Radius (23.1 vs. 21.2), Neck Circumference of Radius (37.8 vs. 35), Midshaft Diameter (9.7 vs. 8.9), and Distance from Head to Bicipital Tuberosity (29.3 vs. 27.6). Conclusion: The results show that there is a lot of sexual dimorphism in adult Indian radii, with men having much greater values than females. The results show that when applied to real-life scenarios, anatomical studies need to account for differences that are specific to both sexes and sides.
