Objective: Describe the behaviour of the length of fetal radio in order to include it in the analysis of ultrasound in the week 11-13+6 of gestational age, because it is associated with multiple genetic syndromes. Methods: An observational descriptive study was carried out on the measurement of the fetal radius in healthy patients with a single pregnancy who attended a screening ultrasound in weeks 11-13+6. Results: 334 radio measurements of the fetus with Cranio caudal length (LCC) between 45 and 84 mm.  Mothers were on average 30.8 years old. The LCC average was 64.2 mm and the average proximal radius was 5.9 mm. The percentiles by gestational age of the length of the proximal radius were to percentile 5% and 95 % at 11 weeks, 1.4 mm and 5.88 mm, for 12 weeks was 2.94 mm and 7.5 mm, for the 13 weeks was 4.66 mm and 9.91 mm and 13+6 week was 6.5 mm and 11.07 mm respectively. A positive correlation between radial length and other fetal biometry was found. Conclusions: The Assessment of the Fetal Radio Should be Routinely Done in the Ultrasound of the 11 to the 13 + 6 Week Because Of It Is Associated With Fetal Abnormalities Of Chromosomal Origin, For This Reason, It Is Important To Study The Behavior Of The Radius Length To Determine Fetal Values Extrapolated To Our Population.
