Am J Perinatol. 1984 Jan;1(2):136-44. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-999989.

Abstract

This article is based on the same population that was previously reported. In this paper, we report the results concerning the fetal limb bones. Growth charts and velocity charts were produced for the humerus, ulna, femur, and tibia. The results are compared with those of the cross-sectional literature.
