- Sexual dimorphic studies of femur parameters help in forensic science by estimating age, sex, and stature from skeletal remains.
- The research involved measuring 200 femora (128 male, 72 female) and revealed that males have significantly larger maximum femur length, trochanteric oblique length, and femur head diameter compared to females.
- These findings are essential for accurately identifying skeletal remains and can influence the design of gender-specific prostheses for orthopedic procedures.
