Highlight1) The stature using anatomical landmark (adductor tubercle) shows high coefficient of determination.2) The regression equations using partial femur measurement show reliable estimated stature.3) One formula could be used to estimate the cadaver's stature in spite of sex difference.Stature estimation from anatomical landmarks in femur using postmortem CT Abstract Objective: The present study aims to assess the correlation between stature and partial femur measurements in Japanese population, using three-dimensional ( Results: Using a mixed-sex regression formula, the R 2 was from 0.644 to 0.766 and actual difference was less than 4.6 cm.Conclusion: Present study showed that femur length measurements, according to the anatomical landmarks obtained from 3DCT VR images, were useful for estimation of the stature, particularly in cases when a total femur bone was not available.
