The authors have studied the evolution of the pregnancy and delivery in 48 women with deformations of the pelvis, who have given birth at the Medical University, Pleven, for a period of 5 years. Luxatio coxae congenita (L. C. C.) has been found in 38 pregnant women, fractured pelvis in 7 cases, secondarily deformed in 2 cases and obliquely contracted in 1 case. The presents of such a limitation has been found in 7 cases (14.58%). Data for fetal hypoxia by cardiotocography have been observed in 2 cases (4.17%), which has served as an additional indication for caesarean section (s. c.). Those having luxation pelvis have had a vaginal delivery in 23 (60.53%), and in 15 (39.47%) cases by c. s. 6 out 7 women with fractured pelvis delivered by c. s. The higher rate of c. s. is more evident in fractured and deformed pelves, while in luxation and especially in the bilateral L. C. C. only 13 have operated.
