Ultrasonographic measurement of fetal femur length is a recognized technique for determination of gestational age and fetal growth. A total of 280 pregnant women were studied, each of whom had pathologies with the potential to either accelerate or delay fetal growth. There were 1000 measurements of the fetal femur length performed on these 280 fetuses. A total of 125 fetuses were found to have a growth disturbance-91 with asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation and 34 with macrosomia. Comparison of fetuses with either intrauterine growth retardation or macrosomia with appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses showed that the femur length is not statistically affected by intrauterine growth abnormalities.
超声测量胎儿股骨长度是确定孕周和胎儿生长情况的一种公认技术。共对280名孕妇进行了研究，她们均患有可能加速或延缓胎儿生长的疾病。对这280例胎儿进行了1000次胎儿股骨长度测量。共发现125例胎儿有生长障碍，其中91例为不对称性宫内生长迟缓，34例为巨大儿。将宫内生长迟缓或巨大儿的胎儿与孕周相符的胎儿进行比较，结果显示股骨长度不受宫内生长异常的统计学影响。
