Introduction: Foetal biometry is an important parameter to assess the gestational age of the foetus and has to be standardised based on the screening population. Foetal foot length has a characteristic pattern of normal growth and could be used to estimate gestational age. Aims- To establish the relationship between the foetal foot length and the gestational age and the femur length using the femur/ foot length ratio. Materials __ampersandsignamp; Methods: The foetal foot length and femur length was noted by ultrasonography and the relation of foot length with gestational age and femur length were calculated. Results: There was a positive correlation between foot length and gestational age. The femur/foot length ratio was between 0.84 and 1.02. Conclusion: Foetal foot length can be used as an additional parameter to estimate gestational age.
