The measurement error for femoral oblique and total tibial length was examined based on data of the author and of Nishi (1928), using modern Japanese samples and Martin's method. Intra- and inter-observer measurement error was quite small for the femoral oblique length and the difference between the two variances was not significant in an F-test. Oblique length data in the literature may thus be considered reasonably accurate. For the total tibial length, inter-observer error was greater than intra-observer error and the difference between the two variances was significant in the F-test. Total tibial length may differ slightly between measurement values for the same sample obtained by different observers
