Female pelvis
This document defines and describes the female pelvis. It discusses the bones that make up the pelvis, including the hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx. It describes the structures of the false pelvis, true pelvis, pelvic inlet, cavity, and outlet. It defines the landmarks and diameters of the inlet. It also discusses types of pelvis including gynaecoid, anthropoid, android, and platypelloid pelvis. Finally, it lists some common deformities of the pelvis.

- 2. INTRODUCTION • The pelvisis a basin like structure which connects the spine to lower limbs. • It is an important part of the skeletal system. • It transmits the weight of the trunk to the legs. • It takes the weight of the sitting body. • It allows movements of walking and running. • It protects the pelvic organs. • In addition the female pelvis is adapted for childbearing with an increased width and rounded brim.
- 3. DEFINITION • It isa skeletal ring formed by two innominate or hipbones, the sacrum & the coccyx. TYPES OF PELVIC BONES • There are four pelvic bones that form pelvis: • Two Hip bones (Innominate or nameless) • One Sacrum • One Coccyx
- 5. 1.TWO INNOMINATE BONES •Each innominate bone is made up of three bones Ilium ischium pubic bone
- 6. ILIUM • The iliumis the flared out part of the hip bone. • It has following parts- Iliac crest as upper border Concave border is iliac fossa Anterior superior iliac spine Anterior inferior iliac spine Posterior superior iliac spine Posterior inferior iliac spine
- 7. ISCHIUM • The ischiumis the thick lower part of the hip bone. • It has following parts- Acetabulum Ischial tuberosity Ischial spine: location in relation to fetal head, i.e. above (-), below (+) or at (zero station) Greater sciatic Notch: extends from Sacro iliac joint to ischial spine Lesser Sciatic Notch: extends from ischial spine to ischial tuberosity Obturator foramen: passage of pelvic nerve fibres
- 8. PUBIC BONE • Thetwo pubic bones form the anterior part of the hip bone. • It has following parts- Inferior rami of Pubic bone (a) Superior rami of pubic bone (b) Symphysis pubis (a+b): It is formed at the junction of two pubic bones. Sub pubic angle: angle between the inferior rami of the pubic bone.
- 9. 2.SACRUM • It isa wedge shaped bone made up of five fused bones. • It has following parts- Sacral promontory: it is prominent upper margin of first sacral vertebrae, projects inwards Sacro iliac joint Wings of Sacrum or Ala of Sacrum Hollow of the Sacrum: concave
- 10. 3.COCCYX • It isa vestigial tail consists of four fuse vertebrae forming a small triangular bone. • It is articulated with the sacrum • Coccyx moves backward during childbirth
- 11. PELVIC JOINTS • Thereare four pelvic joints: Two sacroiliac joints One pubic symphysis joint One sacrococcygeal joint
- 12. TWO SACROILIAC JOINTS •These are slightly movable joints • formed where the ilium joints, first two sacral vertebrae on either side. • They connect the spine to the pelvis & are the strongest joints in body. ONE PUBIC SYMPHYSIS JOINT • It is a cartilaginous joint between two pubic bones. ONE SACROCOCCYGEAL JOINT • It is a hinge joint between sacrum & coccyx.
- 13. PELVIC LIGAMENTS • Thepelvic bones are held together with ligaments. Sacro iliac ligament- it pass in front of and behind each sacroiliac joint. Pubic ligament- it connect the top of pubic bones. Sacro tuberous ligament- one ligament on each side , run from sacrum to the ischial tuberosity Sacro spinous ligament- one ligament on each side of the sacrum & the ischial spine. Sacro coccygeal ligament-one ligament on each side from sacrum to coccyx.
- 15. STRUCTURE OF PELVIS FALESPELVIS TRUE PELVIS
- 16. FALSE PELVIS • Itis formed by the upper flared out portion of the ilium. • Laterally- iliac fossae, • Posterior- fifth lumbar vertebrae, • Anteriorly – the abdominal wall and inguinal ligament • It protects the abdominal organs. • It has no obstetrical importance except that it provides certain landmarks for external pelvimetry.
- 17. TRUE PELVIS • Thetrue pelvis is the bony canal through which the fetus passes during birth. • It has three parts- BRIM/ INLET CAVITY & OUTLET
- 18. THE PELVIC BRIMOR INLET • It is formed by the sacrum posteriorly, the iliac bones laterally and the pubic bones anterior. • Shape: it is almost rounded with antero posterior diameter being the shortest. • Its boundaries are the sacral promontory and wings of the sacrum behind the iliac bones on the sides and the pubic bones in front.
- 20. LANDMARKS OF THEBRIM A. Sacral promontory B. Sacral ala or sacralwing C. Sacroiliac joint D. Iliopectineal line E. Iliopubic eminence F. Pectineal line G. Pubic tubercle H. Pubic Crest I. Symphysis pubis
- 21. DIAMETERS OF THEBRIM 1. Anterio posterior 2. Transverse 3. Oblique
- 22. ANTERO POSTERIOR (11CM) •it is a line from the sacral promontory to the upper border of symphysis pubis. • This diameter is of three types- Diagonal conjugate- distance between lower border of symphysis pubis to mid point on sacral promontory. • it is 12 cm. Obstetrical conjugate- it is distance between midpoint of sacral promontory to prominent bony projection in mid line of symphysis pubis. • it measures 10 cm True conjugate - it extends from the sacral promontory to the top of the symphysis pubis. • Its normal measurement is 11 cm or more.
- 23. Transverse (13cm) – •it is the distance between the two farthest points on the pelvic brim over the Iliopectineal lines. Oblique (12cm) – • it starts from the sacroiliac joint to the opposite iliopubic eminence.
- 24. THE PELVIC CAVITY •The cavity extends from the brim above to the outlet below. • Shape: its shape is almost rounded. • It consist of- Anterior border: Symphysis pubis Posterior border: Sacral hollow Lateral border: Soft tissues • All diameters- measure 12cms.
- 25. THE PELVIC OUTLET ANATOMICALOUTLET: • It consists of the lower border of all bones and Sacro tuberous ligament. • It consists of lower border of symphysis pubis, Sacro coccygeal joint and Sacro ischial spine. • Shape: it is antero – posteriorly oval.
- 26. OBSTETRICAL OUTLET: • Thisoutlet has greater practical significance because • it includes the narrow pelvic strait through which the fetus must pass. • It is otherwise known as bony outlet. • Shape: it is diamond shaped.
- 27. DIAMETERS OF OUTLET: 1.Antero-posterior diameter (13cm): it Extend from lower border of symphysis pubis to the tip of coccyx. 2. Oblique diameter (12): it extend from Rt. & Lt. Sacro spinous ligament to Obturator foramen 3. Transverse diameter (11cm): between the ischial spines.

- 29. 1.Gynaecoid pelvis: (50%) •It is commonly known as the female pelvis because that type occurs most frequently in women. • Most suitable for childbirth. • Wider brim. • Ischial spines are blunt • Sub pubic angle is 90º
- 30. 2.Anthropoid pelvis: (25%) •It favors a posterior position of the fetus. • Oval in shape • Transverse diameter is shorter • Seen in tall women with narrow shoulders
- 31. 3.Android pelvis: (20%) •It is commonly known as male pelvis because it occurs more frequently in men. • Heart shaped brim • Anterior posterior diameter is shorter • Transverse diameter is wider • Childbirth is difficult
- 32. 4.Platypelloid (flat) pelvis:(5%)- •This type of pelvis is rare. • Kidney shaped brim • Anterior posterior diameter is smaller • Transverse diameter is wider • Not conductive to vaginal delivery
- 34. DEFORMITIES OF PELVIS •Contracted pelvis • Rachitic pelvis • Asymmetrical pelvis • Roberts pelvis • Nageles pelvis • Osteomalacia / maacosteon pelvis • Assimilation pelvis • Others- Kyphosis, scoliosis, spondylosisthesis
