The surface projection of Inguinal ligament (SPIL) is a very important anatomical landmark for the inguinal region and the anatomy of the abdominal area. In the photoanthropometric analysis, the surface projection of Inguinal Ligament may be an important anatomical landmark to identify the caput femuri. We will demonstrate this by estimating the stature from photoanthropometric measurements of femur and comparing it with the real stature. A group of 100 peoples of the female sex, aged between 30 and 50 years old, was measured in photo first without and then with garments and the video‐measurement of the femur was used for the anthropological estimation of stature. The results and the camparison between real stature and estimated stature (p<0.05), indicate that the Surface Projection of Inguinal Ligament is a good landmark for photoanthropometric measurements of the femur in female people, with or without garments.
