Abstract

Skeletal bones have a decisive role in sex determination. Studies using various methods, including the humerus, have demonstrated morphometric and macroanatomical differences. This study aimed to define the humerus through computed tomography (CT) based measurements, identify gender differences, and contribute to future research on sex determination. CT images of 43 female and 62 male humeri were analyzed. Ten parameters were examined, and the obtained measurements were evaluated. The mean circumference of the surgical neck (CSN) in men was 10.29 ± 0.72 cm, compared to 8.63 ± 0.87 cm in women (r=0.64, p
