Introduction[edit | edit source]

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). [1]

The pelvic cavity is divided into the true pelvis and the false pelvis by the pelvic inlet.[1] 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[2]. The dimensions of the pelvic inlet is determined by the general shape of the female pelvis.

Contracted pelvis is described as one with reduced pelvic inlet dimensions or shape that is sufficiently abnormal to cause difficulty in the delivery of a normal-sized fetus during labour. [3]It is one of the maj0r cause
