Develop gestational age specific growth curves for fetal third metacarpal and phalangeal lengths and determine if fetal hand proportion is established in utero. This prospective cross-sectional study used 2D ultrasound across gestational ages 12–39 weeks to evaluate the third fetal metacarpal and phalangeal measurements. Gestational age specific reference growth curves were developed. Associations between continuous variables were assessed using Spearman correlations (rs) and restricted cubic splines. A nonlinear biologic regression model was used to predict metacarpal and phalangeal length as a function of gestational age. Measurements derived from five cases of thanatophoric dysplasia were used to determine if brachydactyly could be objectified. Fetal metacarpal and phalangeal lengths are highly correlated across gestational age (rs=0.96, p<0.001). The mean fetal metacarpal to phalangeal ratio is constant from gestational age 15 to 39 weeks (rs =−0.07, p=0.49). Third-digit metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in thanatophoric dysplasia showed brachydactyly in all cases (5/5), and none of the cases (0/5) demonstrated a normal metacarpal to phalangeal ratio of 0.49. We present gestational age specific reference growth curves for fetal third metacarpal and phalangeal lengths, which may be used to detect brachydactyly. We demonstrate a prenatal metacarpal to phalangeal ratio of 1:2.
