Stature is defined as the natural height of a human or animal in an upright position. Estimation of stature helps in identification of a person in medico legal cases. In many cases only the remains of some bones are available which act as a guide for estimation of the individual. In the present study 50 femur and 50 humerus bones are taken . The height or stature is calculated based on the length of these bones and compared with each other. It is concluded in the study that there is significant correlation between the length of the individual bones and the stature. This study is useful for anthropologists and forensic experts.
