The proximal end of the human tibia is sexually dimorphic. Tibial condyles from 100 individuals in the Hamann-Todd Collection were measured. Regression equations retrodicted known sex with 86-95% accuracy. A test sample of 20 individuals also from the Hamann-Todd Collection was classified with 85-100% accuracy. A sample of 20 prehistoric individuals provisionally sexed by using crania and innominate bones was classified with 85-100% agreement. Thus, the proximal tibia may be useful in determining the sex of a skeleton.
人类胫骨近端具有性别差异。对哈曼 - 托德骨库中100个人的胫骨髁进行了测量。回归方程对已知性别的预测准确率为86% - 95%。同样来自哈曼 - 托德骨库的20个个体的测试样本分类准确率为85% - 100%。对20个使用颅骨和髋骨初步判定性别的史前个体样本进行分类，一致性为85% - 100%。因此，胫骨近端可能有助于确定骨骼的性别。
