Within forensic medicine, identifications were aimed to determine someone’s identity. One of the commonly used identifications was stature determination. Stature was influenced by many factors, and relatively stable after growth age ended. One of body parts that were closely correlated with stature was long bone, in such a way that stature could be estimated from long bone measurement. This study was aimed to discover profiles of tibial length and stature, along with correlation between percutaneous tibial length (PCTL) and stature, as described by its linear regression equation. This study was observational analytic study with cross sectional design. The study was conducted in 37 samples (19-24 years olds) of male undergraduate students of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga whom also had Javanese ethnicity. The measured data were stature, PCTL of both legs, and cofounding data as such body weight and exercise category of study subject. The data were normally distributed, and were analyzed by Pearson correlation test with significance level less than 0.05 (p<0.05). The results of study showed stature profile that increased from previous studies, tibial length profile that was different from previous studies of different ethnicity, along with very strong positive correlation between right PCTL and stature with r = 0.873. Linear regression equation that was generated, Stature = 468.446+3.188*Right PCTL, could be used to estimate male individu’s stature if supposedly only his tibia was found. Similar correlation was also found between left PTCL and stature. In conclusion, there was a correlation between percutaneous tibial length and stature, sustained previous studies.
