Abstract :
Femur is a latin word which means “thigh”. Femur is the longest and strongest bone of the body. It articulates with acetabulum of the hip bone to form hip joint. Assessment of human sex from skeletal parts is important in anthropology, archaeology, comparative anatomy and forensic medicine where it provides accurate information for medico–legal information. The present study was conducted on 80 left femurs (40 males & 40 females). Four measurement of femur were taken. The mean value were significantly higher in males as compared to females (p ≥0.0001)
