title: [Several anatamo-anthropologic features of the bones of the forearm].
abstract: Corpses of 242 Lithuanians died at the age of 14-95 years from Kaunas and its environs have been studied somatometrically . The forearm bones from the corpses have been extracted, macerated and studied osteoscopically by means of a stereomicroscope, osteometrically and electroroentgenographically . The data obtained are treated by means of a computer. The signs of lateral asymmetry in the forearm bones, that is more often right-sided, are described. Sex differences in the forearm bones are also described. These differences could be used as a base for the method of sex determination by means of discriminant functions. Age differences of the bones studied are presented.
