What Does Short Femur Length On 32 Week Scan Indicate?
Hello Doctor! My son is at a gestational age of 33 weeks... the scan made at 32 weeks showed a relatively short femur length on the 20 percentile... but everything else on the 50 percentile... does that mean he s gonna be a short man? Thank you in advance!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, from the imaging study nothing could be said about the height neither this is the evidence that proves the short stature and it should never be taken into consideration until and unless child born and grows old up to the age of 8 years and more hope this information helps.
