Study Notes
Diagonal Conjugate Measurement
- Diagonal conjugate is the only clinically measurable diameter of the pelvis.
- Measured from the upper border of the pubic symphysis to the sacral promontory.
Joint Resisting Horizontal Rotation
- The iliolumbar joint specifically resists horizontal rotation of the pelvis.
Pelvic Brim Angle
- The angle formed by the pelvic brim with the horizontal plane is 60 degrees.
Fetal Head Engagement
- The biparietal diameter (BPD) indicates that the fetal head is engaged when it is at least 11cm in the anteroposterior (AP) diameter.
Risk of Nerve Damage During Forceps Delivery
- The facial nerve is at risk of damage during forceps delivery.
Ventouse Delivery Cup Placement
- For a flexed fetal head during ventouse delivery, the cup should be placed on the frontal bone.
Location of the Coronal Suture
- The coronal suture is positioned between the frontal and parietal bones of the skull.
