FEMALE PELVIS

MSc (N) Obs & Gyn
Female pelvis
INTRODUCTION
 important from obstetric point of view
 Forms passage for fetus to pass through the birth canal
Female pelvis
PELVIC BONES
Female pelvis is formed by 04 pelvic bones
1. Innominate bones- 2
2. sacrum  1
3. Coccyx - 1
Female pelvis
INNOMINATE BONES
Consists of 3 parts
Ilium
Ischium
pubis
Female pelvis
Female pelvis
ILIUM
o Large flared outer part
o Iliac crest: it is the upper border of ilium and when we place
hand on the hip it rest on the iliac crest
o Iliac spine: the anterior side and posterior side of ilium consists
of two bony projections each namely
1. anterior superior iliac spine
2. anterior inferior iliac spine
1. posterior superior iliac spine
2. posterior inferior iliac spine
o Iliac fossa: The concave anterior surface of the ilium is the iliac
fossa
ISHCHIUM
It is the thick lower part of innominate bone
Ishchial tuberosity: large prominence on which body rest while
sitting
Ishchial spine: an inward projection behind and above ishchial
tuberosity. During labor station of head is estimated in relation to
ishchial spine
PUBIC BONE
Forms the anterior part of innominate bone
Body of pubis: thick and flat part of pubic bone
Ramii: two arm like projection - superior & inferior
Symphysis pubis: the joint between two pubic bones
Pubic arch: formed by the infusion of inferior ramii
Obturator foramen: space enclosed by pubic ramii, pubic bone and
ishchium
Sciatic notch: curves on the lower border of innominate bones., for
passage of great vessels
Greater sciatic notch: extends from posterior inferior iliac spine to the
ishchial spine
Lesser sciatic notch: between ishchial spine and ishchial tuberosity
Acetabulum: deep cup like structure to receive head of femur
Female pelvis
SACRUM
Wedge shaped bone consisting 05 fused vertebrae
Sacral promontory: Upper border of 1st sacral vertebra is known
as sacral promontory
Ala of sacrum: Lateral side of sacral promontory is known as ala
of sacrum or wing of sacrum
Halo of sacrum: There are two pairs of holes through which
nerves are entering into the pelvic organs
COCCYX
Vestigial tail
Consists of 04 fused vertebral
Forms a triangular bone
PELVIC JOINTS
Sacroiliac Joints= 02 , strongest joints in body , connects sacrum
with ilium
Sacrococcygeal= 1, base of coccyx articulates with tip of sacrum.
Movement of this joint during labor facilitates smooth passage of
the baby
Symphysis pubis: form at the junction of two pubic bones, united
by a pad of cartilage
Female pelvis
PELVIC LIGAMENTS
Each joint is held by the ligaments
Sacroiliac ligament: medial surface of ilium to sacrum
Sacrospinous ligament: Lateral aspect of the sacrum to ishchial
spines
Sacrotuberous ligament: Lateral aspect of sacrum to inner
aspect of ishchial tuberosity
Interpubic ligament: Between two pubic bones
Iliolumbar ligament: iliac crest to lumbar vertebrae
Female pelvis
TYPE OF PELVIS
False pelvis
True pelvis
FALSE PELVIS
No obstetric importance
Above the pelvic brim / true pelvis
Anterior: abdominal wall
Posterior: lumbar vertebrae
Lateral: iliac crest
TRUE PELVIS
Bone defined tunnel through which baby has to pass during birth
- pelvic brim
- pelvic cavity
- pelvic outlets
Female pelvis
PELVIC BRIM
Almost round in shape except at the side of sacral promontory
Poste: Ala or wings of sacrum, sacral promontory
Lateral: iliac bones and its lateral borders
Anterior : pubic bones
Plane of brim is 55 to 60 above the horizontal plane
LANDMARKS OF INLET OR BRIM
1. Sacral promontory
2. Ala of sacrum
3. Sacroiliac joint
4. Iliopectineal line
5. Iliopubic eminence
6. Pectineal line
7. Pubic tubercle
8. Pubic crest
9. Symphysis pubis
PELVIC CAVITY
Above: brim
Below: outlet
Anterior: pubic bone & pubic symphysis
Posterior: curve of sacrum
Measurement: 12 cm diameter
PELVIC OUTLET
Lower part of true pelvis
1. anatomical outlet: Lower borders of each of the bone together
with sacrotuberous ligament
2. Obstetrical outlet: diamond shaped
AP diameter  sacrococcygeal joint to lower border of symphysis
pubis
Transverse : between two ishchial spine and two ischial
tuberosities
PELVIC MUSCLES
Inner aspect of bony pelvis is covered with muscle
Above the brim: iliac & psoas
Side walls: obturator internus and its fascia
Posterior: Pyriformis
Pelvic floor: Levator Anii & Coccygenous
Female pelvis
PELVIC DIAMETERS (INLET)
ANTEROPOSTERIOR
True Conjugate: from tip of sacral promontory to upper border of
symphysis pubis12cm
Obstetric conjugate: from tip of sacral promontory to the most
bulging point on the back of symphysis pubis (1cm below its upper
border)10.5 cm
Diagonal Conjugate: from tip of sacral promontory to lower
border of symphysis pubis 12-12.5cm
TRANSVERSE DIAMETER
Two farthest points on iliopectineal lines (4cm from promontory &
7cm from symphysis pubis) largest diameter in pelvis 13cm
OBLIQUE DIAMETER
sacroiliac joint to iliopectineal eminence 12 cm (Rt and Lt)
PELVIC CAVITY
Round
All diameters are same 12 cm
Female pelvis
PELVIC OUTLET
Obstetric
AP: from tip of sacrum to lower border of symphysis pubis as coccyx
moves backwards in 2nd stage of labor (13cm)
Transverse: between ishchial spines (10.5 cm)
Anatomical
AP: from tip of coccyx to lower border of symphysis pubis
Transverse: inner aspect of ishchial tuberosities
CLASSIFICATION OF PELVIS
Gynecoid pelvis
Android pelvis
Anthropoid pelvis
Platypelloid pelvis
Female pelvis
GYNAECOID PELVIS
Female pelvis
50% females
Rounded  slightly oval inlet
Straight pelvic sidewalls with roomy pelvic cavity
Good sacral curve
Ishchial spine not prominent
Pubic arch is wide
ANDROID PELVIS
Male pelvis
Pelvic brim is heart shaped convergent sidewalls
Narrow pubic arch
Prominent spines
ANTHROPOID & PLATYPELLOID
ANTHROPID
Long and narrow pelvic canal AP diameter is more than
transverse diameter
Straight pelvis side walls
PLATYPELLOID
3% women
TD is much more than AP diameter
Sacral promontory pushed forward
IDEAL OBSTETRIC PELVIS
Brim: round or oval transversely
No undue projection of sacral promontory
AP: 12 cm
TD: 13cm
Plane of pelvic inlet 55degree
Cavity: shallow with straight side walls, no great projections of ischial
spines and smooth sacral curve
Outlet: rounded pubic arch with suprapubic angle more than 80
Intertuberous diameter more than 10cm
FAVOURABLE PELVIS
Sacral promontory cannot be felt
Ischial spine not prominent
Suprapubic arch accept 2 fingers
Intertuberous diameter accepts 4 knuckles on pelvic exam
