Resumo
As shown in 56 human embryos and fetuses between 15 and 104 mm in crown‐rump length, 'adult' metacarpal‐phalangeal length rankings are attained by the seventh intrauterine week and near‐adult bone‐to‐bone ratios or proportions by the thirteenth week. Micrometric measurements of optically‐projected histological hand sections show relative elongation of the distals between the 15–29 mm and 30–44 mm crown‐rump range, and relative reduction to radiogrammetrically‐determined adult proportions by the 90–104 mm CRL.
