Hyoid bones from a medical examiner population were visually and radiographically examined to determine the presence or absence of bony fusion of the greater cornua to the central body. Fusion was found to increase in frequency with age. Hyoid bones fused more frequently in males than in females. Females showed an especially high frequency of unilateral nonfusion.
对来自法医群体的舌骨进行了视觉和放射学检查，以确定大角与中央体之间是否存在骨性融合。结果发现，融合频率随年龄增长而增加。男性舌骨融合的频率高于女性。女性单侧未融合的频率特别高。
