Sacro-sciatic notch The configuration of the notch denotes the capacity of the posterior segment of the pelvis and the side walls of the lower pelvis.
Ischial Spines They may be prominent & encroach to the cavity there by diminishing the available space in the mid pelvis.
Posterior surface of the symphysis pubis It normally forms a smooth rounded curve. Presence of angulation or beaking indicates abnormality.
Pubic angle A. In narrow angle, it roughly corresponds to fully abducted middle & index fingers. B. The inferior pubic rami are defined, the angle roughly corresponds to the fully abducted thumb and index fingers.
Transverse diameter of the outlet It is measured by placing the knuckles of the first inter phalangeal joints or knuckles of the clinched fist between the ischial tuberosities.
