ABSTRACT

Fig. 25. Another module system depending on osteology (from Anon. (91 ), p. 27), perhaps older than the use of the knuckles. For example, the distance between the lowest point of the tenth rib and the upper surface of the greater trochanter of the femur is taken as 9 standard ins., these to be converted to relative ins. in accordance with the patient's height. The inset shows yet another way, the measurement of the distance between the anterior and posterior hair lines over the crown of the scalp-here 12 standard inches.
