The area of the articular surface of the distal end of the human femur

A simple method of measuring the articular surface area of the distal end of the femur is described. The mean area value was 43.8 +/- 8.6 cm2. The area value was related to the relative size of the bone as measured by the inter-epicondylar distance.
