Forensic expert job become very difficult when dis-membranous or mutilated body or only a bone or a bundle of bones brought for post-mortem examination. Stature is one of the key factor for fixing identity of an individual. Many study have been conducted to formulate regression formula from different long bones for different groups of race, ethnic and regions. This study aims at formulate a regression formula to estimate stature from percutaneous length of ulna of native of Gujarat. This study was carried out in Department of Forensic Medicine, C. U. Shah Medical College, Surendranagar, Gujarat. Total 800 participants (400 male & 400 Female) were included in study. Their stature and percutaneous length of ulna were estimated with standard methods and manner. Results are analysed and studied. This study shows that there is highly significant in mean length of ulna and stature in both male and female participants (P<0.05). Stature and percutaneous ulna length has positive correlation and regression formula is obtained to estimate stature from ulna length for natives of Gujarat.
