The fetal femur (FL) is routinely measured for assessing fetal growth during the routine mid-trimester anomaly scan. Fetal short femur presents a significant diagnostic dilemma as it could be the result of inaccurate dating, or a normal variant in constitutionally small fetuses, but it has also been associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR), skeletal dysplasia and chromosome abnormalities. Neonatal often crippled by skeletal dysplasia and chromosome abnormality, or combined with neurologic abnormalities. It seriously affects the quality of patients' life and the pathogenic genes can be inherited by the next generation. But the diagnostic criteria and clinical management principles of fetal short femur are still indefinite. The purpose of this review is to discuss curent published researches in light of prenatal diagnosis of fetal short femur.
