Purpose: The harmony of the morphometric features of the proximal and distal parts of the femur is very important in terms of biomechanical function. The aim of the study is to examine the correlation between the proximal and distal parts of the femur and to produce regression formulas for implant design with morphometric properties in harmony. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 33 dry femurs in the bone collection of Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. Four parameters related to femur length and segments, sixteen parameters related to proximal femur and sixteen parameters related to distal femur were measured. Statistically, descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression analyzes were made. Results: Entire femur length was 400.27 +/- 39.15 mm, diameter of femur neck was 32.82 +/- 3.37 mm, inclination angle was 134.11 +/- 6.25, declination angle was 17.28 +/- 7.53, transcondylar axis length was 78.37 +/- 5.49 medial posterior condyle width was 27.83 +/- 2.37 lateral posterior condyle width was 26.77 +/- 1.54 mm, intercondylar notch width was 18.61 +/- 2.67 mm, and intercondylar notch depth was 23.23 +/- 5.22 mm found. Conclusion: We believe that the data we have obtained will benefit orthopedists and implant manufacturers on issue of that the parts of the femur should be in harmony for biomechanical function and this compatibility should be taken into account when designing the implant, and also forensic scientists and anthropologists in identification.
