Available in: Paperback. Pubic bone age estimation is an important area of forensic anthropology that is used to determine the age of unknown individuals based on the morphological changes of the pubic symphysis. The pubic symphysis is the joint that connects the left and right pubic bones in the pelvis, and its morphology changes as an individual ages.In recent years, there has been an increased interest in using autopsy data to improve the accuracy of pubic bone age estimation. Autopsy studies can provide valuable information on the morphological changes of the pubic symphysis in a large and diverse population, which can help to refine and validate age estimation methods.One important area of autopsy research in pubic bone age estimation is the study of the symphysial surface. The symphysial surface is the part of the pubic symphysis that faces the other pubic bone, and its morphology changes in a predictable way with age. Autopsy studies have found that the degree of ridging, porosity, and other morphological features of the symphysial surface can be used to estimate age with a high degree of accuracy.
