Abstract

The study was carried out to determine and compare the pubic length, ischial length and ischiopubic indices among the people of Enugu State of Nigeria. Anterioposterior radiographs of 94 adult pelvis (of age range, 18-70 years) were evaluated. Ninety four of the radiographs (50 males and 44 females) were those from Enugu state of Nigeria. The morphological measurements were pubic length, ischial length and ischiopubic index. The mean values of pubic length, ischial length and ischiopubic index of males of Enugu were 71.0mm, 84.4mm, 84.0 respectively while those of their females were 85.0mm, 83.0mm and 105.6 respectively. The mean pubic length was significantly longer in females in the population (p
