Gender determination problem, is a topic which is always one of the most favored by forensic medicine experts and researchers in the field of Anthropology. In forensic medicine we frequently see the unknown decomposed or scattered bodies that the sex detection is difficult. In cases where we have complete cadaver or skeleton, or skull and pelvic bones can be sent along with, it is not difficult to determine gender. But in many cases there are not the above components to determine gender and then there are specific limits and difficult factors. In these cases, accurate measurement of some bony standards such as sub-pubic angle can help us.
