title: [Characteristics of the external conjugate diameter in children from birth to 6 years].
abstract: The authors measured the length of the external conjugate of the pelvis in 1513 children from their birth up to the age of six and determined the mean values of this parameter, by adopting them as the standard values for the region of Pelagonija (Macedonia). The increase of the external conjugate proved to be most intensive in the first year of life (IR = 49.9% in girls and 49.5% in boys), marking the beginning of the first phase of an intensive increase of the pelvis in children of both sexes.
