Abstract

Introduction: The evaluation of pregnancy date can be done by taking measurements of foetal femur length. These additional measurements taken provide a more ‘universal view’ of the foetal development than can be afforded by any single measurement. In the present study femur length was measured to study the correlation and significance of this parameter with last normal menstrual period (LNMP) in estimating the foetal gestational age [FGA].
