Is not tibia a much better marker of height than femur?

My 5'6 sister has the same length femurs as me yet I'm 6'2. But my tibias are longer.
My father is the same height and his femurs are longer whilst I have a longer torso, but tibia is the same.
Femur is variable and probably sex hormone dependent to an extent. Why is it then used as a definitive marker of height?
Tibia and ulna seems like much better choices.
