Dear Ariadne, I believe that we have a solution for you with geomorph <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geomorph/> in the R environment. In geomorph, we have several functions to digitize semilandmarks over 3D surfaces and curves. Why don't you email to me your femora digitizing regime and we can discuss how to work with these files.
