| Abstract | Abstract Background: Observation of ossification center of distal femoral epiphysis in fetus by ultrasonography can be used to estimate the gestational age. Objective: To find the observation percentage of ossification center of fetal distal femoral epiphysis by sonography in pregnant women between 29-40 weeks of pregnancy. Methods: A total number of 395 women between 29-40 weeks of pregnancy were examined by sonography in Kerman University hospitals (1998-99). Findings: The mean gestational age to observe this center was 34.1 weeks with 3.5 weeks standard deviation. Gestational age was significantly correlated with appearance percentage of ossification center of distal femoral epiphysis (P | en |
