Abstract:
On 850 subjects, study was carried out on the correlation between the length of humerus and of femur (H/F) corresponding to the fetal age from 14 to 30 weeks. Results showed the reduction of H/F length ratio along the age because that the femur growth more quickly than the humerus. The ratio reduced from 0,99 in 19th week to 0,87 in 30th week. This correlation is very useful for antenatal diagnosis
