Pelvimetry
Purpose	measurement of female pelvis

Pelvimetry is the measurement of the female pelvis.^[1] It can theoretically identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion, which is when the capacity of the pelvis is inadequate to allow the fetus to negotiate the birth canal. However, clinical evidence indicate that all pregnant women should be allowed a trial of labor regardless of pelvimetry results.^[2]
