What is the best way to convert a mesh surface region into a solid region?

For example, we can obtain a mesh region of the surface of the left femur as follows.

lf=DiscretizeGraphics[Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "LeftFemur"]["Graphics3D"]]; SolidRegionQ[lf] (*False*) Area[lf] (*61 317.9*) Volume[lf] (*0*)

R = BoundaryMeshRegion[MeshCoordinates[lf], MeshCells[lf, 2]]; Volume[R]
