SHAPE VARIABILITY OF THE ADULT HUMAN ACETABULUM AND ACETABULAR FOSSA RELATED TO SEX AND AGE BY GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRICS. IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULT AGE ESTIMATION

Highlights • 682 acetable were analysed by geometric morphometrics taken into account sex and age. • Acetabular shape variation depends on factors as size, sex and age. • Acetabular fossa has a clover-leaf morphology. • Males have wider lunate surfaces, narrower notches and smaller fossae than femal...

Description
Summary:Highlights • 682 acetable were analysed by geometric morphometrics taken into account sex and age. • Acetabular shape variation depends on factors as size, sex and age. • Acetabular fossa has a clover-leaf morphology. • Males have wider lunate surfaces, narrower notches and smaller fossae than females. • With age acetabular fossa lose its clover-leaf shape, becoming more rounded.
