- The femur should be imaged as longitudinally as possible, perpendicular to the ultrasound beam.
- Both ends of the femur (the distal femoral epiphysis and the proximal femoral epiphysis) should be clearly visualized.
- Avoid excessive pressure with the transducer, which could compress the fetal structures and lead to an underestimation of the measurements.
- Distal Femur Point: Extends from the inferior edge of the femur on its lateral side, towards the knee. It should not be included in femur length.
- Position one caliper at the proximal end and the other at the distal end of the femur, where the bone appears brightest and most distinct. It's recommended to take multiple measurements and use the average if there's variability.
- The measurement should be taken in a straight line, not following the curvature of the bone.
Compare the measured FFL to gestational age norms to assess whether the fetus is growing appropriately.
- A significantly shorter or longer femur compared to the gestational age may suggest potential skeletal dysplasias or other anomalies. However, these measurements can also vary in normal fetuses, so it's important to consider the whole clinical picture, including other biometry measurements and maternal factors.

Yes Dr. Your way of teaching is very very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
Thank you Dr,your videos guide us
Most Welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks Dr.
Most Welcome!
great
Thanks for watching!
very helpful 👍
Thank you very much!
Dr. Sam where are you practicing as your way of teaching is very good
Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you for this video as I am guilty of sometimes making errors with the curved fetal femur measurement . Would it be possible to upload a video on how to properly measure the liver especially when presented with distortion of the image due to gas?
Touché. We all do wonderful fudges at times. The issue here is "Practice makes perfect"... Try to do it as perfectly as possible all the time.
Thank you very much for watching! Don't worry, we all make mistakes. And thank you for the suggestions! I will try to make a video on it
Plz make video how to correct measurements fetal doppler like umbilical artery, uterine artery etc
Thank you for the suggestions!
Great sir
Thanks for watching!
Assalamualaikum..
Please make a video how to measure AFL.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi doctor, im 29 weeks pregnant left femur is slightly bow in growth scan. Can this be cured by massage or need any surgery pls reply
Hello, a slight bowing of femur is usually considered normal. Is the femur length normal?
Hii doc.
My pregnancy is of 28 weeks and 3 days
FL is 5.39 cms
And fetal weight is 1195 gm
So is it normal ???
Yes these are normal. If you have any concerns, please consult with your doctor. Best Wishes!
Hi dr.FL 52.7mm in 29 week 2 days pregnancy .is it normal? Plz tell me
According to standard charts, it falls within normal range.
Hi Dr. FL 6.28cm in 34 weeks pregnancy is ok ?
A femur length (FL) of 6.28 cm at 34 weeks of gestation falls below the average range for this particular gestational age, but these values can vary slightly based on the population and the specific growth charts or ultrasound equipment used. It is best to consult with your doctor. Best Wishes!
Hi sir, fl 58mm in 37 weeks pregnancy . is it normal?
Hello, it is below the normal range but there is a range of normal measurements, and individual growth patterns can vary.
