Abstract

Abstract

Determination of gestational age is important in civil and criminal cases. Though a reasonable assessment of gestational age can be made by measuring physical parameters such as crown-heel length, weight of fetus and by noting morphological features, organ development and appearance of ossification centers, an alternative parameter is desirable in some instances. The purpose of the present study is to determine the accuracy of fetal hand and foot length in estimating gestational age. The result of present study reveals high correlation of fetal hand and foot lengths with gestational age and these parameters could be utilized to estimate gestational age.

Key words gestational age, intrauterine age, fetus, foot length Assessment of gestational age from hand and foot length
