Spontaneous labor with kyphosis
Labor management for "humpbacked" women is of a kind of practical interest. These women often have a funnel-shaped (kyphotic) pelvis. However, even V.S.Gruzdev, and later G.G. Genter pointed out that not every kyphosis leads to architectural changes in the pelvis. Kyphosis in the cervical and thoracic spine does not affect the pelvis, since it is balanced by lumbar lordosis, and only lumbar kyphosis leads to a funnel-shaped pelvis. This circumstance should be taken into account by the obstetrician in his activity, since in the first case, independent childbirth is more often possible, and in the second, they often resort to surgical interventions.
