Morphometric evaluation of the relationship between the distal femur and proximal tibia of the dogs

In this study, 42 adult dogs, comprised of 25 males and 17 females, with 18 different morphological types from the heterogeneous population were used. A total 4 osteometric measurements femur tibia taken. After calculating mean standard deviation values dogs (SPSS 21.0 program), T-test was applied to observe significance difference between both sexes. Correlations observed tibia. As a result, regression formulations created make independent estimations “greatest breadth distal end” proximal end”. The formed had high specificity value (R2). Hence, while sexual dimorphism not on measurements, data produced in study will contribute knee joint operations as well identification same individual mass burial contexts zooarchaeological studies.
