title: [Determination of sex differentiated ossification patterns of costicartilage pairs II to VI: post mortem study of radiograms of the anterior chest wall].
abstract: On the basis of widely laterally resected anterior chest walls, ossification specimens of femal (n = 95) and male (n = 112) individuals of different age have been examined. An unexpected high significance of the already described sex-dimorphism could be secured between the 20th and 50th year of age. The estimated epiphenomenological changes impress as a female calcification type with centrally in the costal cartilage situated ossifications and as a male calcification type with sheath-like calcifications situated at the cranial and caudal edge of the costicartilage. Isolatedly observed contra-sexual ossifications specimens are expressively hinted at.
