Abstract
Introduction An accurate gestational age is must for Obstetricians and Gynecologists to make appropriate decisions for identify and counseling women who are at risk of a preterm delivery and to evaluation of fetal growth and the detection of intrauterine growth restriction IUGR In our present study we worked on fetal tibial length foot length and found that in normal growing fetus fetal tibial length increase with advancing gestational age and regression analysis showed a strongly significant relationship between gestational age and fetal tibial lengthMaterials and Methods 100 pregnant women underwent ultrasonographic measurements of Tibia and Foot Length from 15 to 36 weeks of gestation in the Radio diagnosis DepartmentResults In our study we found the earliest age at which Tibia and foot length could be seen by ultrasound was 15 weeks of gestation and mean tibia length 1025 050 mean foot length is 175129 while at 36 weeks of gestation are 7080084 and 644328 respectively A strongly significant relationship has been observed between fetal foot length and gestational age by regression analysisConclusion Fetal tibia length and foot length can be considered as one of the good parameter for the determination of gestational ageKeywords Fetal tibial length Fetal foot length Gestational age by USG
