Mid-trimester isolated short femur and perinatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction
Fetal femur length below the expected value has been described as a marker of aneuploidy, skeletal dysplasia, intrauterine growth restriction and small‐for‐gestational‐age neonate. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to evaluate the strength of association between isolated short femur length and intrauterine growth restriction or small‐for‐gestational‐age, and perinatal adverse outcomes.
