Introduction[edit | edit source]
Contracted pelvis considered rare in the developed world, is still prevalent in some developing countries.[1] Labour Dystocia is the most common complication associated with contracted pelvis which leads to increased incidence of perinatal and maternal morbidity as well as mortality.
It is described as one with reduced pelvic dimensions or shape that is sufficiently abnormal to cause difficulty in the delivery of a normal-sized fetus during labour [2]
The female pelvis[edit | edit source]
In obstetrics, the shape, type and diameter of the female pelvis determines the course and outcome of labour.[2][3] The pelvis is made up of the sacrum, the coccyx, and two os coxae Each os coxae is made up of the ischium, the ilium, and the pubis. The pelvis is formed inferiorly between the sacrum and the coccyx (sacrococcygeal symphysis), posteriorly between the sacrum and each ilium (sacroiliac joint), and anteriorly between the pubic bodies (pubic symphysis). [4]
The pelvic cavity is divided into the true pelvis and the false pelvis by the pelvic inlet.[4]
The pelvic inlet, is the anatomical limit between the true pelvis below and the false pelvis above and its regarded as the door way to the birth canal in obstetrics[5]. The pelvic inlet involves three of the four units of which the bone pelvis is composed. The pelvic brim involves the first sacral segment, the iliac and pubis portion, but not the ischium. The dimensions of the pelvic inlet is determined by the general shape of the female pelvis.[5]
The shape of the pelvic inlet depends on the general shape of the pelvis. Caldwell and Moloy classified the female pelvis into 4 basic pelvic types which are, in order of frequency, gynecoid (∼50%), android, anthropoid, and platypelloid.[3][6]
