Abstract

Physical anthropology provides scientific method and technique for taking various measurements in different geographic regions and races. The study was aimed at determining measurements for obtainingforaminal index for both femur and humerus.  In this study 80 (44 right and 36 left) intact human adult femora and 60 (36 right and 24 left) adult human humerie were obtained from teaching skeletal collections at Department of Anatomy, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram. A hand lens, osteometric board and measuring tape were used for this purpose. Foraminal index was between 33 to 62% for left femur when calculated from proximal end and between 31 to 61% for right femur. The foraminal index was between 40 to 64% for left humerus when calculated from proximal end and between 45 to 64% for right humerus. The findings observed in this investigation have immense utility for medico legal experts. The details of data obtained with relevant review of literature were discussed.
