Detailed explanation-1: -Although pelvises can be classified according to diameter, in obstetric practice they are often divided into 4 main types: gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid, based mainly on the shape of the pelvic inlet [5].
Detailed explanation-2: -In discussing the pelvis, a distinction can be made between the “pelvic spine” and the “pelvic girdle.” The pelvic girdle, also known as the os coxae, Latin for “bone of the hip, ‘’ consists of the fused bones identified individually as the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three bones of the pelvis: the hip bone, sacrum and coccyx. These bones connect the axial skeleton to the lower limbs, and therefore play a role in bearing the weight of the upper body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ilium. The broad, flaring portion of the hip bone (the crest of the pelvis). Pubis. The lower, posterior part of the hip bone. Ischium. One of the bones that helps form the hip.
