Aim: The purpose of this study is to predict the sex of an individual by taking into account of Sternal end diameter (SED) and Acromial end diameter (AED) from the clavicle dimensions in the population of India. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was initiated after receiving approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee at the Department of Anatomy, Index Medical College & Hospital, Indore. According to the data registry of the department, 150 dry clavicles (75 male and 75 female) were collected. Results: In all the parameters, the mean ± SD in males were statistically significantly higher than those in females on both sides: p < 0.05 for SED on the left; SED and AED on the right; while p= 0.010 for left AED. In SED, the mean ± SD were significantly higher on the left than the right side (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant side differences AED (p=0.792). Correlation of all the predictor variables were significant. Conclusion: The present study concluded that there is a significant and strong positive correlation between the right and left sternal end diameter and acromial end diameter. This correlation was found to be significant because it was found to be positively correlated with all of the variables.
