Is a bone that doesn't articulate next to any other, and if it breaks, it is an evidence of strangulation?
Answers:
David you are incorrect, the only bone that does not articulate near another bone is indeed the hyoid bone. It has muscles of deglutition attached to it. It is regularly fractured if someone is strangled. A sesamoid bone is a bone that grows within a muscle, the largest is the patella or kneecap. There are also many smaller sesamoid bones surrounded by the body, but they all articulate beside another bone.
why, are you thinking of killing someone?
the bone between the chin and larynx is the hyoid bone, it is the simply bone that has no relation to another bone
That's the hyoid bone and it COULD break contained by strangulation, but could also break from other trauma. It's very unusual because it's not in an confidently accessible position for either--it sits very lofty and helps anchor the tongue.
The hyoid bone.
Everyone that said the Hyoid is the solitary nonarticulating bone is WRONG!
Sesamoids.
But u were trying to be clever, so I'll indulge u. Yes. Hyoid fractures are classic evidence of strangulation. Specific, but not sensitive
