it is critical to evaluate what in short stature to differentiate it from normal to pathologic stature
growth rate
children who grow how many inches a year between 3 years and puberty do not have something wrong with them
2 inches
what ratio can indicate diproportionate short stature
U/L ratio
familial short stature
normal bone age
normal onset of puberty
constitutional short stature
delayed bone age
late onset of puberty
- normal
4 causes of prenatal onset proportionate short stature
- environmental exposures
- chromosome
- genetic
- viral
what do you consider when you see disproportionate short stature
