Article 6 of the universal declaration of human rights states that everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law. The sternum is a strong bone therefore it can be used for age and gender prediction and it does’t deform easily for a long time, therefore it can be used for age and gender prediction. Gold standard to evaluate bone tissue that easily provides a detailed imaging of the sternum is Multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) imaging. Aim is to study the pattern of fusion of manubrio-sternal & xiphi-sternal joint in correlation with age and gender of individuals in Gurugram region.. A total of 120 individuals participated in this study. The subjects included were individuals of 30-70 years of age from Gurugram city.. The present study concluded that, fusion of xiphi-sternum with body of sternum was 40 years in both male and female which was more reliable for determination of age as maximum number of fusion was found in this age group. For fusion of manubrio-sternum with body of sternum was 59 years in male and 60.35 years in female.
