Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A slightly reduced length of femur is a physiological variation and may or may not be associated with any other congenital malformations. The baby can catch up the growth after birth to reach a normal size after the birth.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
