Q: What is the Rule of thumb for approximate estimation of stature?
© Femur: 27% of total height
* Tibia: 22% of total height
© Humerus: 20% of total height
* Vertebral column: 35% of total height
© Stature by skull; total height of individual is 1/7* of height of skull from bregma to chin. If skull
without mandible, it is 1/8 from top to maxilla
Q: What are the methods used to estimate age from Skull
A: 1. If mandible is available - Dentition
2. Fusion of skull sutures
Q: Age of obliteration of Fontanelle
Metopic suture & Anterior fontanelle- 2-2.5 yrs.
* Mastoid & Sphenoidal fontanelle obliterate by 2-3 mts
Posterior fontanelle obliterate by 6-8 mts.
Q: Age of fusion of skull sutures at base
‘* Occipital squama fuses with condylar part - 3 years
Condylar part with Basi occiput- 5 years
© Basi occiput with basisphenoid- 18-20 yrs.
Q: Age of fusion of vault sutures.
« Sagittal suture:
> Post 1/3; 30-40 yrs.
> Ant 1/34: 40-50 yrs.
> Middle 1/3: 50-60 yrs

Lambdoid suture: 45-50 yrs.
Squamous part of temporal with parietal bone: 60-70 yrs.
‘is lapsed union?
Sutures start to fuse after 25 years endocranially first and later ectocranially (5-15 y')
Union means non-union of sutures ectocranially
common in sagittal suture,
seen in sacrum, non-union of 1* and 2 sacral vertebrae even after 32 yrs.WOUND CERTIFICATE - VIVA
