Abstract
It is commonly accepted that the examination and statistical analysis of femoral Anthropometry among different populations reveals a great amount of variation due to the face that the femoral Anthropometry measurements from different countries are likely to be affected by racial variations in diet, heredity, climate and other geographical factors related to life. Anatomists have carried out various measurements to differentiate sex of the femora. This was done in femora of either known or unknown sex. Various parameters were used by Anatomists for measuring femora. 50 dry human femora of unknown sex were collected from different medical institution and Anthropology department of S. V. University, Tirupati. By eliminating pathologicaly misfit femora, 50 femora in good condition were selected. Each femur was carefully measured for 6 parameters which are already described in materials and methods. 1.Maximum length of femur,2.Vertical diameter of head,3.Epicondylar breadth,4.Neck-shaft angle,5.Transverse diameter of head,6.AP diameter of shaft - Upper,middle, lower.The measurements were statistically analyzed and tabulated. The present study reveals that femora of unknown gender can be sexed to the extend of 75-80% by three parameters namely, Vertical
