Sex Determination from Occipital Condylar Measurements by Baudoin Index in Forensic Purposes

In human identification for forensic purposes the sex is one of the most important and first features to be assessed in each case. Baudoin condylar index is a sex determination method based on measurements of length and width of the occipital condyle. The aim of this research was to apply the Baudoi...
