Female Pelvis

The female pelvis consists of bones including the sacrum, ilia, pubis, and coccyx. The pelvis is divided into the false pelvis above the pelvic brim and the true pelvis, which is the bony canal through which the fetus passes during childbirth. The true pelvis includes the brim, cavity, and outlet. The pelvis has landmarks including the sacral promontory and iliopectineal line. It contains joints like the sacroiliac and pubic symphysis. Pelvic diameters that impact childbirth include the anteroposterior conjugate, oblique diameters, and transverse diameters of the inlet, cavity, and outlet. The shape and sizes
