Geometric morphometric analysis reveals age-related differences in the distal femur of Europeans
Abstract Background Few studies have looked into age-related variations in femur shape. We hypothesized that three-dimensional (3D) geometric morphometric analysis of the distal femur would reveal age-related differences. The purpose of this study was to show that differences in distal femur shape r...
