One of the primary characteristic for the identification of a person is the stature of the person. After the age of 21 - 25 years, the dimensions of the skeleton remain unchanged and the ratio in size. Of different parts to one another is also considerably variable in different individuals. In case of dismembered body parts, stature can be estimated on the basis of ratio of the different parts. In this paper, attempts are made for the estimation of the stature of native of Gujarat state at AMC MET Medical College, Ahmedabad using "Percutaneous tibial length" in year 2009–10. Tibial length was taken from medial condyle to the tip of medial malleolus with the knee semi flexed and foot partly inverted.
