RESUMEN
Aims and Objectives: To find out the correlation between maximum length of femur and its proximal & distal fragments. and to formulate regression equation for estimation of stature from maximum femoral length. Materials and methods: This study consists 50 femur (27 of right side & 23 of left side). The maximum length of femur, proximal (P1,P2,P3,P4) and distal (D1,D2,D3,D4) measurements was taken with help of osteometric board and by vernier calliper. Results: The correlation found in P1,P2,P3,P4, D1,D4 on right side femur and P2, P3, P4, D1, D4 on left side femur. The strongest correlation observed in the D4 on right femur and P2 of left femur. The result obtained were analysed and derived regression equation between maximum femoral length and its proximal and distal fragments. Conclusion: The positive correlation between maximum femoral length and its proximal and distal fragments and regression equations derived in this study helpful to estimate stature in Medico-legal investigations and in Anthropometry.
