Linear-regression equations derived from measurements of tibial condyles from 100 individuals in the Hamann-Todd Collection retrodicted known stature with a level of confidence comparable to many of the existing stature-estimation techniques. Statures of an independent control group were estimated with similar success. The strong linear relationship that exists between the length of the tibia and the size of the condyles allows adult stature (of American whites and blacks) to be estimated from the proximal tibia. Since complete tibial length is not required, this technique could prove useful in forensic science and archaeological cases where less-than-intact elements are recovered.
从哈曼 - 托德人体测量数据集的100个个体的胫骨髁测量数据中得出的线性回归方程，预测已知身高的置信度与许多现有的身高估计技术相当。对一个独立对照组的身高进行估计也取得了类似的成功。胫骨长度与髁大小之间存在的强线性关系，使得（美国白人和黑人的）成人身高可以从胫骨近端进行估计。由于不需要完整的胫骨长度，该技术在法医和考古案例中可能会很有用，因为在这些案例中找到的骨骼元素并不完整。
