Overview

This study analyzes femoral morphometry for stature estimation, highlighting sexual dimorphism in the Pakistani population.

Key Points

  • Maximum femoral length correlates strongly with stature, indicating its importance in height estimation.
  • Male femora are significantly larger than female femora, highlighting sexual dimorphism in morphometric characteristics.
  • The study utilized measurements of femoral dimensions from ninety human specimens, with data obtained from documented cadaveric records.
  • Clear correlations among femoral dimensions, age, and sex underscore their relevance in forensic and clinical settings.
