title: [Uterine measurements in the fitting of intrauterine devices].
abstract: Using Hasson's Wing Sound I to determine uterine segmental measurements in 160 women it was found that no constant relationship exists between total uterine axial length and cervical length; therefore uterine cavity size cannot be determined by standard sounding. The importance of fitting an intra-uterine contraceptive device to the endometrial cavity is discussed.
