Abstract:
The aim of the work is within the framework of medical and forensic medical identification developing of scientifically based diagnostic criteria for determining growth by the parameters of the scapula. We examined 108 corpses aged 19 to 99 years old. from the Central region of Russia in 2016. Death reasons: cardiovascular diseases, acute poisoning with ethanol and/or narcotic drugs and concomitant mechanical trauma. Were used research's methods: morphological, morphometric, osteometric and as well mathematical statistics. New formulas have been obtained to determine the body's growth by individual parameters of the scapula. Using those formulas will make possible to reasonably reduce the range of osteological studies aimed to targeted recruitment of a specific material, which will reduce the time and economic costs in general for conducting morphometric studies of bones, as well as increase the evidentiary value of expertise in criminal proceedings.
