There is enormous sexual difference in male and female head of femur, which is not a sphere but not even a uniform spheroid. The theme and stress during this work was to identify the anatomical landmarks, followed by anthropometry. This resulted in more uniform readings taking away the eye judgement and observer’s error. The reported standardised techniques of measurements - of cuarvatures in horizontal and vertical axis gave the results which are statistically highly significant. The results arc of great applied and practical values in referred specimen in the medicolegal field
