Bicondylar width and maximum length of the femur are used to determine the size and overall shape of the bone, which can then be used to estimate the sex. The vertical diameter of the femoral head is also used to determine the sex, as it tends to be larger in males than females. Epicondylar width is not typically used for sex determination.
