What Does Short Fetal Legs On Pregnancy Scan Suggest?

My daughter has had a 20 week scan and her baby has a hand missing but they also mentioned his legs were at the shorter end of the scale. She is waiting to have an amneo test. They mentioned his legs being a little shorter even though they said they looked normal could this be a sign there is more wrong than just his hand missing. She had a miscarriage before getting pregnant this time.
