Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The present study investigates population-specific sex estimations in human femora. • Clinical archival data from a contemporary, urban Turkish population were used. • Femur was found to be a reliable bone for estimating sex in Turkish population. • Present research supported that osteometric assessment is highly population specific. • This is the first 3D metric assessment of human femora from Turkish population.
