  1. CLINICAL ANATOMY OF THE PELVIS Kaan Yücel M.D., Ph.D. 14.January.2014 Tuesday

  2. Male Pelvis v.s. Female Pelvis Sexual differences are related mainly Heavier build and larger muscles of most men Adaptation of the pelvis (particularly the lesser pelvis) in women for parturition (childbearing). The difference between the male and female pelvis Difference Between Male & Female Pelvis

  3. male or funnel-shaped pelvis with a contracted outlet long, narrow, and oval shaped 41% of women widepelvis 2% of women

  4. In forensic medicine (the application of medical and anatomical knowledge for the purposes of law), identification of human skeletal remains usually involves the diagnosis of sex. • A prime focus of attention is the pelvic girdle because sexual differences usually are clearly visible. • Even fragments of the pelvic girdle are useful in determining sex.

  5. PELVIC DIAMETERS (CONJUGATES) Size of the lesser pelvis important in obstetrics Because it is the bony canal through which the fetus passes during a vaginal birth. To determine the capacity of the female pelvis for childbearing, diameters of the lesser pelvis are noted radiographically or manually during a pelvic examination.

  12. Minimum anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the lesser pelvis True (obstetrical) conjugate Narrowest distance through which the baby's head must pass in a vaginal delivery. This distance, however, cannot be measured directly during a pelvic examination because of the presence of the bladder.

  13. Diagonal conjugate (from inferior pubic lig. to promontory) Measured by palpating sacral promontory with the tip of the middle finger, using the other hand to mark the level of the inferior margin of the pubic symphysis on the examining hand. After the examining hand is withdrawn, the distance between the tip of the index finger (1.5 cm shorter than the middle finger) and the marked level of the pubic symphysis is measured to estimate the true conjugate, which should be 11.0 cm or greater.

  14. Transverse diameter is the greatest distance between the linea terminalis on either side of the pelvis.

  15. Pelvic Fractures • Anteroposterior compression of the pelvis occurs during crush accidents (as when a heavy object falls on the pelvis). • This type of trauma commonly produces fractures of the pubic rami. • When the pelvis is compressed laterally, the acetabula and ilia are squeezed toward each other and may be broken.

  16. Fractures of the bony pelvic ring are almost always multiple fractures or a fracture combined with a joint dislocation. Pelvic fractures can result from direct trauma to the pelvic bones, such as occurs during an automobile accident, or be caused by forces transmitted to these bones from the lower limbs during falls on the feet.

  17. Weak areas of the pelvis, where fractures often occur: Pubic rami Acetabula Region of the sacroiliac joints Alae of the ilium 25 Year Old Male with displaced fracture of the sacrum andsymphysis pubis. The most severe pelvic fractures separate the two sides of the pelvis from each other.

  18. Pelvic fractures may cause injury to pelvic soft tissues, blood vessels, nerves, and organs. Fractures in the pubo-obturator area are relatively common and are often complicated because of their relationship to the urinary bladder and urethra, which may be ruptured or torn.
