Multiplying factor of estimating from femur (male) is:
A i.e. 3.6 - 3.8 As a general rule humerus is 20%Q, tibia is 22%Q, femur is 27%Q and spine is 35%Q of individual height - If complete skeletal length is available, to obtain stature 2.5 cm is added for soft pas. - Femur & tibia give more accurate results than humers & radius. Even then the error may be upto 2.5 cms - Hepburn osteometric board modified by Trevor is most commonly used.
3.6-3.8
4.1-4.8
4.9-5.6
5.8-6.0
