Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the shape and morphometric features of the obturator foramen (OF) in dry human bones. Methods: Forty-six (Right:15, Left:31) dry human coxal bones were evaluated. Photographs of samples for morphometric measurements were taken using a transparent osteometric box (TOB) designed for this study. Horizontal and vertical diameters of OF were measured according to two different principles. Measurements were taken to determine the localization of OF on the coxal bone (hip bone) relative to the acetabulum, pubis, and ischium. Shape analysis (visual typing) of OF was performed with the conventional method. In order to examine the shape variations of the OF in more detail, quantitative shape analysis based on Elliptic Fourier Analysis was performed with the SHAPE software. Results: A significant difference was observed between the diameter measurements obtained by the two methods (p
