An X-ray study of the lumbar spine after childbirth in 2 groups of patients (one control group and one group with engagement dystocia) picked up one difference between the groups. The patients who gave birth spontaneously, presented with hyperlordosis which was relieved when lying down. In contrast, the patients who had presented engagement dystocia, presented with hyperlordosis which was aggravated when lying down.
