Introduction: The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body allowing mobility and stability to the lower limb. To understand various diseases of femur and to aid in its treatment. The present study on morphometric measurement of adult dry femur was done. Objectives: The objectives of present study to find out the measurements of Femoral Length, Neck Length of femur and Neck shaft angle. Materials and Methods: In present study have used 250femurs from different colleges in south India. The following measurements were measured Femoral Length, Neck Length of femur and Neck shaft angle. Results: The results obtained were the mean length of femur was 45.22 cm, left femur was 45.13 cm and right femur was 45.28 cm in male, mean length of femur was 41.84 cm, left femur was 42.14 cm and right femur was 41.54 cm in female. The anterior neck length of the femur was 3.07 cm, left femur was 3.18 cm and right femur was 2.88 cm. The neck shaft angle of femur was 126.65°, left femur was 125.82°, and right femur was 126.26°. Conclusion: There is no significance difference between right and left femur measurements. The result of present study may help the orthopaedician, radiologist and also for anthropological practice.
