A textbook of obstetrics . Fig. 344-- Same case as figure 343. ANOMALIES IN THE FORCES 01 LABOR, 477 ward, backward, and inward, on account of the pressure of thefemur, the weight of the body being received mainly upon the sound leg. This form of coxalgic pelvis, as a rule, presents noserious obstacle to delivery unless it is associated with a rachiticdeformity (Fig. 345). Special attention, however, should alwaysbe paid to the length of the conjugate diameter of the inlet,and to the transverse diameter of the outlet. In the othervariety of coxalgic pelvis the deformity is also an oblique con-traction, but it is the bone on the diseased side which is driveninward upon the pelvic canal. This displacement of the innomi-nate bone is the result of an arrested development on the corre-sponding side of the pelvis, and is usually associated with anatrophy of the sacral ala and an ankylosis of the sacro-iliac contraction of the pelvic canal is much more serious in this
