What are the Key Measurements in Clinical Pelvimetry?
Several measurements are critical in clinical pelvimetry, including:
Diagonal Conjugate: The distance between the lower edge of the pubic symphysis and the sacral promontory, measured manually. Interspinous Diameter: The distance between the ischial spines, which can indicate the narrowest part of the pelvis. Obstetric Conjugate: The shortest distance between the sacral promontory and the closest point on the pubic symphysis, estimated from the diagonal conjugate. Bituberous Diameter: The distance between the inner surfaces of the ischial tuberosities.
