Stature approximation of Malays, Chinese and Indian in Malaysia using radiographs of Femur, Tibia and Fibula

The study was conducted to create specific formulae for stature estimation of adult male population in Malaysia based on measurements of femur, tibia and fibula lengths using radiographic method. A number of thirty two Malaysians from hospitals involved as subjects in this study. The subjects were M...
