Reconstruction of Femoral Length from Its Proximal Fragments and Diaphyseal Segments in South Indian Population.

摘要

ABSTRACT Intact long bones of the upper and lower extremities have been used in the derivation of regression equations for the estimation of stature in different population groups. The objective of the present study is to assess the feasibility of estimation of the length of femur from the measurements of its proximal fragments and diaphyseal segments in South Indian population. The greatest accuracy in estimating living stature from long bones length will be obtained when sex and ethnic identi.
