2. Fig. 1
Correlation of the VC of the knee with the tAB of the knee. The data were fit to the equation VC=a×tAB1.5 where a=0.0256, r2=0.86 and P< () Females, (●) Males.

3. Fig. 2
The relationship of the tAB with height squared. (A) The least squares fit tAB=a×height2 applied to females and males together (a=0.0028, r2=0.67, P<0.0001). (B) The least squares fit b×sex+a×height2 where sex=0 or 1 for females or males, respectively (a=0.0028, b=9.54, r2=0.76, P<0.0001). (C) The least square fit for tAB=a×height2 with females only (a=0.0028, r2=0.60, P<0.0001). (D) The least squares fit for tAB=a×height2 with males only (a=0.0037, r2=0.16, P<0.01). () Females, (●) Males.

4. Fig. 3
The relation of the VC for the total knee (K) with height cubed. (A) The least squares fit VC=a×height3 applied to females and males together (a=4.17×10−6, r2=0.54, P<0.0001). (B) The least squares fit VC=b×sex+a×height3 where sex=0 or 1 for females or males, respectively (a=3.69×10−6, b=4.38, r2=0.65, P<0.0001). (C) The least square fit for VC=a×height3 with females only (a=3.70×10−6, r2=0.38, P<0.0001). (D) The least squares fit for VC=a×height3 with males only (a=4.40×10−6, r2=0.09, P=0.03). () Females, (●) Males.
