[Do the obstetrically relevant bony pelvic measurements change? A retrospective analysis of computed tomographic pelvic x-rays].
The important dimensions of pelvimetry were evaluated from 467 CT studies of the pelvis by trigonometric deduction. The age of the women was between 18 and 88 years. In addition to the diameters, which are routinely used for pelvimetry, transverse and sagittal diameters, pelvic angles and areas of pelvic planes were calculated. On condition that the pelvic dimensions do not depend on age the parameters can be regarded as representative of sexual maturity. 5 parameters showed highly significant and 7 parameters showed significant differences between the age-classes 1901-1920 and 1950-1971. An increase of pelvic dimensions (1950-1971) was found at the planes of the pelvic inlet and outlet in contrast to the dimensions of the pelvic center. The results confirm the importance of the bispinous diameter for pelvimetry as well as the demand for a revision of the standard values of the first half of the century.
