Frequency and efficacy of pelvimetry: Saskatoon experience.
The pelvimetry rate in Saskatoon for the period 1979-1981 was low in comparison with published rates. Pelvic measurements alone are poor predictors of the outcome of labor. Management usually proceeded independently of these measurements. There was substantial variability among ten different observers in measuring the same set of pelvimetry films.
