Is routine X-ray pelvimetry of value to decide on mode of delivery for women with labor dystocia?
X-ray pelvimetry is used for evaluation of pelvic inlet generally to diagnose cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) or contracted inlet. Cesarean section delivery (C/S) is often performed for labor dystocia without CPD or contracted inlet.
