From September 1999 to September 2001, Institute of the Protection of Mother and New-borns, fetal femur length measured with a convexarray transducer,realtime ultrasound scanner in 115 normal monofetal gravid patients from 28 weeks of gestation. This study showed that fetal femur length was not different from last studies which have been done in the country. The growth rate of the femur length has also been calculated (1.67mm/wk). The relationship between femur length and gestational age is highly significant
