what is the percentile for a child of 3 boy that is 35lbs and 32in long i cant really read the growth charts?


Question:
really read the growth charts verry accurately my son has bone problems along with growth problems but he is still on the charts from what i understand , but the orthapedic surgon thinks he is a campomelic dwarf and all the other docs say he is not , even the genitisist but i dont know what do go by

Answers:
He is well below the 5th % for height and about the 80th % for weight.

In other words, his height is far below normal limits, but his weight is within normal limits.

Campomelic syndrome is a rare congenital disorder in which multiple anomalies are present. It is characterized by bowing and angular shape of the long bones of the legs, especially the tibia; multiple minor anomalies of the face; cleft palate; other skeletal anomalies such as abnormalities of the shoulder and pelvic area and eleven pairs of ribs instead of the usual twelve; underdevelopment of the trachea; developmental delay in some cases and incomplete development of genitalia in males such that they appear to be females.

Does your son have these symptoms? I would definitely get another opinion.

Other Answers:
they actually have those charts (a least when i used to visit the site) on verybestbaby.com
