A possibility of determining the anthropometric parameters of a killed person may be of crucial significance to identify bone remains, especially, when detecting the short tubular bones of the foot. This study is based on a research of roentgenogrammetric measuring parameters of the foot bones and their relationships with the foot length. As a result, linear regression equations have been developed for reproducing the length of the foot based on the length of the metatarsal bones.
