Objective: This study reports on the morphometry of the femur and the estimation of its maximum length using linear regression model in South west Nigerian population. Methods: The maximum femur length and proximal femur breadth were measured using an osteometric board. The proximal angle breadth, neck vertical diameter, medial lateral mid-shaft diameter, neck transverse diameter, vertical head diameter, horizontal head diameter, anterior posterior sub-trochanteric diameter, medial lateral sub-trochanteric diameter, anterior posterior mid-shaft diameter, femur epicondylar breadth, anterior posterior diameter of the lateral condyle, kk diameter of the medial condyle, medial condylar length and Lateral condylar length were measured using a digital vernier caliper while subtrochanteric circumference, femur mid-shaft circumference were measured using fibre glass tape. Results: Following data analysis using …
