Maximum (anatomical) femur length

The bone length measured from the most superior point of the femoral head to the most inferior point of the femoral condyles with the bone laid flat on an osteometric board, regardless of shaft angle. The measurement definition used in the 1958 Trotter-Gleser and all major Indian stature equations; distinct from the physiological (bicondylar) length used erroneously in some 1952 equations.
