2. The bony pelvis is made of four bones :
The sacrum ,coccyx ,and two
innominates(ilium, ischiumand pubis).
These bones are held together by symphsis
pubis ,sacroiliac joints and sacrococcygeal
joint.
The sacrum consists of 5 fused vertebrae,the
anterior –superior edge of the first vertebra
is called sacral promontory,which
protrudes slightly into the cavity of the
pelvis.
the anterior surface of the sacrum is usually
concave.itarticulates with the illiumat its
upper segment ,with coccyx at its lower
segment ,and with the sacrospinousand
sacrotuberousligaments laterally.
The coccyx is composed of three to five
rudimentary vertebrae. it articulate with the
sacrum.

3. The pelvic brim and
inlet
The pelvic brim is the inlet
of the pelvis and bounded
in front by the symphysis
pubis (the joint separating
the two pubic bones) on
each side by the upper
margin of the pubic bone
the ileopectinealline and
the ala of the sacrum
posteriorlyby the
promontory of the sacrum.

4. The pelvic brim
and inlet:
the normal
transverse diameter
in this plane is 13.5
cm and is wider than
the anterior-
posterior diameter
which is normally
11cm ,angle of the
inlet is normally 60
degree to the
horizontal in the
erect position.

5. The cavity is almost
rounded ,as the
transverse and anterior
diameter are similar at
12cm ,the ischialspine
are palpable vaginally
and are used as land
mark to asses the
descent of the head
during vaginal
examination (station)
they are also used as
land marks for providing
an anesthesia block to
the pudendalnerve.
Pudendalnerve passes
behind and below the
ischialspine on each

6. Station:
of the presenting part in the
pelvis canal is define as its level
above or below the plane of the
ischialspines.
Ischialspine level =zero station
eacn1 cm above or below the level
of ischialspine, given -1 and +1

7. The pelvic midcavity
The pelvic midcavity can be
described as an area bounded in
front by the middle of the
symhysis pubis on each side by
the pubic bone the obturator
fascia and the inner aspect of the
ischial bone and spine
poteriorly by the junction of
the2nd and 3rd section of the
sacrum.

8. The pelvic out let
The pelvic outlet is bounded in front
by the lower margin of the symphysis
pubis
on each side by the descending
ramus of the pubic bone,the ischial
tuberosity and the sacrotuberous
ligment posteriorly by the last piece of
sacrum

9. The pelvic out let
The AP diameter
of the pelvic out let
is 13.5 cm and the
trasversediameter
is 11cm .

10. Avarietyof pelvic shapes has been
described and these may
contributed to difficulties in labor

11. Gynaecoidpelvis
Present in 40%of women
pelvic inlet is rounded
with transverse diameter
larger than antero-
posterior diameter
side wall is straight ,well
rounded sacroscaitic
notch,
well curved sacrum
,spacious sub pubic
angle =90 degree,
average prominence of
spine ,head forced to
occipital anterior
position

12. Anthropoid pelvis
20% of female ,long
narrow oval inlet ,long
antero-posterior diameter
large posterior inclination of
sacrum ,spine not
prominent but close
,narrow subpubicangle
,precipitate occipital-
posterior position and

diameter increased risk
of obstructed labour.

16. The pelvic floor
This is formed by the two
levatoranimuscles which
with their fascia form a
musculofascialgutter
during the 2nd stage of
labour.
The perinealbody is a
codensationof fibrous and
muscular tissue lying
between the vagina and the
anus .
It receives attachments of
the posterior ends of the
bulbocavernousmuscles
,the medial ends of the
superficial and deep
transverse perineal
muscles and the anterior
fibers of the external anal
sphincter ,it is always
involved in a 2nd degree
perinealtear and an
episiotomy.

17. 17
episiotomy
type 1. median or midline
2. mediolateral

18. The FETAL skull
The fetal skull is made up
of the vault ,face ,base.
The vault of the skull is
formed by the parietal
bones and parts of the
occipital ,frontal and
temporal bones.
Between these bones
there are four
membaranoussutures,the
sagital,frontal coronal and
lumbdoidalsutures

19. The anterior fontanelleor bregmaclosed at 18 months (diamond
shape)is at the junction of the sagittal,frontal and coronal sutures
The posterior fontanelletriangular in shape lies at the junction of
the sagittaland lambdoidalsutures between the two parietal
bones and the occipital bone closed at 6-8 weeks of life.
It allow these bone to move together and even to overlap the
parietal bones usually tend to slide over the frontal and occipital
bones.
The bones themselves are compressible together these
characteristics of the fetal skull allow a process called mouldingto
occur ,which effectively reduces the diameter of the fetal skull and
encourages progress through the bony pelvis with out harming the
under lying brain.

20. Vertexthe area of the
fetal skull bounded by
the two parietal
eminences and the
anterior and posterior
fontanelle.
Attitude of the fetal
head refers to the
degree of flexion and
extension at the upper
cervical spine.
Different longitudinal
diameters are presented
to the pelvis in labor
depending on the
attitude of the fetal
head.

21. The diameter of fetal skull

22. The diameter of fetal skull:
Vertex presentation
Well flexed head the longitudinal
diameter ,is the suboccipito–
bregmaticdiameter 9.5 cm and
measured from the sub occipital
to the anterior fontanelle
.
longitudinal diameter that
present in a less well flexed head
such as is found in the occipito-
posterior position is the Sub-
occipito-frontal diameter and is
measured from the suboccipital
region to the prominence of the
forehead 10 cm .

23. Further extension of the head
Occipito-frontaldaimeter
present this is measured from
the root of the nose to the
posterior fontanelleand is
11.5 cm.

24. The largest longitudinal
daimeterthat may present is
the Mentverticalwhich is
taken from the chin to the
furthest point of the vertex and
measure 13 cm known as Brow
presentation and it is usually
too large to pass through the
normal pelvis.

25. Extension of the fetal
head beyond this point
result in a smaller
daimeter,submentobreg
maticdaimeteris
measured below the chin
to the anterior fontanelle
and is 9.5cm this is
clinically a face
presentation.

26. Transverse diameters of
fetal skull are:
Biparietal(9.5 cm)this is
largest
transverse,diameter
(between two parietal
bones).
Bitemporal8 cm shortest
transverse diameter
,between two temporal
bones.

27. Engagment
occurs when the widest
diameter of the fetal
presenting part has
passed through the
pelvic inlet .
In vertex –biparietal,
breech-intertrochanteric
.

28. Synclitic:
when the biparietaldiameter is
parallel to the pelvic plane
and the sagitalsuture is mid
way between the anterior and
posterior planes of the pelvis
when this relationship not
present the head is
considered to be asynclitic

29. Clinical pelvimetry:
The clinical evaluation of the pelvis
Pelvic inlet:
1-Anteroposterior diameter assesmentby measure the diagonal .
conjugate,which is obtained on clinical examination
11.5 considered is considered adequate adequate.
The obstetric conjugate is then estimated by subtracting 1.5 to 2 cm
Often the middle figure of the examining hand cannot reach the
sacral promontory, thus the obstetric conjugate is adequate.
2-The anterior surface of the sacrum is then palpated to assess its
curvature. The usual shape is concave .
Aflator convex shape may indicate anteroposteriorconstriction
throughout the pelvis
.

31. Diagonal conjugate

33. The midpelvis
1-the pelvis side walls can be assessed to determine whether they
are convergent rather than having the normal ,almost
parallel,configuration.
2-The ischialspines are palpated carefully to assess their
prominanceand several passes are made between the spines to
approximate the bispinousdiameter more than 10.5cm.

34. 3-The lenghthof the sacrospinous
ligmentis assessed by placing
one fingureon the ischialspine
and on the sacrum in the
midline.
The average length is 3 fingure
breadths.
4-If the sacrospinousnotch that is
located lateral to the ligament
can accommodate two-and half
finguretips,theposterior mid
pelvis is most likely of
adequate dimensions. short
ligament suggests a forward
inclination of the sacrum and a
narrwedsacrospinousnotch.

35. pelvic outletis assessed.
1-This is done by first placing a fist
between the ischialtuberosities.
An 8.5cmdistance is considered an
adequate transverse diameter.
The posterior sagittalmeasurement
should also be greater than8cm.
2-The infrapubicangle is assessed
by placing thumb next to each
inferior pubic ramusand then
estimating the angle at which
they meet.Anangle of less than
90 degree is associated with a
contracted transverse diameter in
the midplaneand out let.

36. Radiological assessment
of the pelvis:

When an accurate measurement of the pelvis is indicated nuclear
magnetic resonance may be used .The advantage of MRI over the
X-Ray or CT for the pelvic assessment is the lack of ionizing
radiation exposure.
Indications:
1-Clinical evidence or obstetric history suggestive of pelvic
abnormalities.
2-Ahistory of pelvic trauma.
