"Parahongshanornis " is a small species with a femur length of twenty-four millimetres.
2.
The diagnosis can be made by fetal ultrasound by progressive discordance between the femur length and biparietal diameter by age.
3.
In 2010, Brusatte " et al . " estimated it to weigh, based on femur length measurements.
4.
This species also features relatively short legs for a tapir caused by a femur length that is shorter than dentary length.
5.
For instance, tibia length will vary with femur length and also with humerus and ulna length and even with measurements of the head.
6.
In a study of its bone physiology, it was found that the maximum known femur length was, which is much larger than previously known ( ).
7.
"Tornieria " was a large sauropod, with a maximum known femur length of suggesting an animal around the same size as Barosaurus; and 23 metric tons.
8.
"A . pallipes " morphology is also affected by the altitude with an inverse relationship between higher altitude and reduction in body size, especially hind femur length and head width.
9.
J . S . Alho and colleagues argued that tibia and femur lengths are highest in populations of the Common Frog that are indigenous to the middle latitudes, consistent with the predictions of Allen's rule for ectothermic organisms.
10.
In less severe cases, the use of an Ilizarov apparatus can be successful in conjunction with hip and knee surgeries ( depending on the status of the femoral head / kneecap ) to extend the femur length to normal ranges.
