“…The lengths of the low extremity in Caucasian of the 1990s have been reported to have steadily increased, and now are relatively longer than in the 1960s, though this difference has not been found to be significant (6,8,12,13). One of the reasons for this change in growth may be related to an increase in the average stature at maturity (14).…”

“…These data have been used with some success to predict leg length discrepancy, although some modifications were later made by Moseley (10), and Paley et al (11) to simplify its clinical use. Some authors have reported different results that contradict those of Anderson et al (8), which were attributed to differences in ethnic origin, height, and socioeconomic status (12)(13)(14). Maresh (12) findings imply that a standard growth curve should be prepared by each country in order to assess any existent growth abnormality and to predict future growth at skeletal maturity, and that these be revised on a regular basis.…”

To develop a standard growth curve of the lower extremity in Korean children from 3 to 16 yr of age, the lengths from a total of 2087 normal long bone segments (582 femurs and 645 tibias in boys, and 417 femurs and 443 tibias in girls) were measured. Children were grouped by years of bone age, which was determined by using the Korean specific bone age standard; TW2-20 method. The growth spurt occurred in girls from eight to eleven years by bone age, and in boys from eleven to thirteen years. The mean tibial length relative to the mean femoral length was 0.78 in boys and 0.79 in girls. The overall growth pattern was similar to that observed in American children in the 1960s. Korean children and adolescents appear to have a different tempo of skeletal maturation during pubertal growth from that of English and American children and adolescents. The Korean standard growth curve and the Korean bone age chart allow determination of the presence of any existent growth abnormalities and prediction of future remaining growth in lower extremities. These normative growth standards can be used for leg-length equalization purposes in children with anisomelia.

Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of posteromedial bowing of the leg: two case reports

Congenital posteromedial bowing of the leg was prenatally detected in two pregnancies, at 20 and 31 weeks of gestation. Posteromedial bowing is a rare anomaly of unknown etiology. The prenatal course, monitored by ultrasonography, and the postnatal clinical and radiographic outcomes are discussed and show a complex differential diagnosis. The initial postnatal therapy is conservative. Leg length discrepancy can eventually be treated by lengthening or epiphysiodesis on the contralateral side.

“…The remainder of the radial multipliers calculated from Gerver et al 15 showed minimal variation from the radial multipliers of Maresh 5 (Appendices 9, 13). Paley et al 7 demonstrated a similar deviation before age 6 years when they calculated the lower-limb multipliers for Dutch children reported by Beumer et al 33 The lower-extremity multiplier has been clinically validated for accuracy of prediction for tibial and femoral length, limb-length discrepancy, and timing of epiphysiodesis at skeletal maturity. 9,10 It is reasonable to assume that the upper-extremity multiplier is similarly accurate in such predictions.…”
