It is thought and accepted to be an indicator of female gender. To our knowledge, this study would be the first to examine the sulcal incidence in a multicultural population. To date, there are limited studies to also test the existing hypothesis that the sulcus is only seen in the female gender. The results of this study would be applicable to the field of forensic medicine and gender identification in the post\u2010mortem setting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective review of 500 adult pelvic X\u2010ray radiographs (250 female and 250 male) obtained as part of routine medical care in a metropolitan public health service (encompassing three hospitals) was performed.

This study found that the preauricular sulcus is only present in the female pelvis. The incidence was 41.2% (103 of 250) in the examined female patient population.
