  1. Values are presented as mean ± SD, *Significance was set at 0.05 as tested by student t-test for two independent samples.
  2. The average femoral mediolateral distance (fML) was 69.3 mm for both sexes, and males had greater values than females (P < 0.001). There was also a statistically significant difference in the femoral aspect ratios (fAR) between two sexes (P < 0.001).
