The main objective of this work is to evaluate the femur morphology in women, through a digital methodology using Computed Tomography or CT medical images. Because of the great variation of femur anatomy there are few detailed studies of the geometry and the femur morphology, needed to the best bone-implant fit to a patient. Recently, studies propose different techniques to be used for the design of the human femur geometry and present some results from a group of populations.
