Statistical model of 3-D femoral cortex shape and thickness built on 204 femurs.
Anthropological information correlated to shape and thickness.
Shape and thickness predicted age to within 10 years and sex with 97% accuracy.
Anthropological data and two femur measurements predicted shape and thickness to 2.3 mm and 0.5 mm RMSE respectively.
Predictions superior to those using traditional morphometric measurements.
