The midplane of the fetal ellipseis an important one, and but rarely, if ever, referred to in works on obstetrics (). It is a plane passing through the center of the fetal body and including inits circumference the knees, elbows, and umbilical cord. Its shape is generallyoval, and its long axis antero-posterior as regards the fetal body. The bitro-chanteric with extended thighs is oval with a longer transverse diameter (Fig. 550).When the thighs are flexed on the body a more round shape obtains (Fig. 549)-.
