The length of the femur can be predicted from the biparietal diameter in a normally developing fetus.
expected femur length in mm =
= (0.9028 * (biparietal diameter in mm)) - 9.3105
ratio of observed to predicted femur length =
= (length observed) / length predicted)
Limitations:
• Good ultrasonographic images with accurate measurement using electronic calipers are required.
