Abstract

BACKGROUND:In the field of Forensic Medicine, one of the most useful pieces of information to be obtained from human skeleton remains, whatever their age is the living stature of the individual for the identification of a person.Status estimation by the length of femur plays an important role in the identification of a decomposed body.AIMS: Study was done to estimate the stature of an individual by the length of femur.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in the department of Forensic Medicine of Patna Medical College, Patna, during the period of Dec-13 to Jan-14.A total of 80 cases (40 rural males and 40 rural females), were studied.RESULTS: The results of present study showed that there was a definite relationship between the length of femur and cadaveric length.It was also clear from this study that prediction of stature is also influenced by sex and racial factor.CONCLUSION: The present work indicates that all the segments of femur have a definite relation with the cadaveric length, but out of four different segments, segment-2 is preferable over segment-3, 4 and 1 in the order of relativity as the segment-3 over preferably segment-4 and segment-1 as indicated by the index of determination.
