A

Radiographs

29
Q

What maternal factors might cause dystocia

A

Skeletal abnormalities (pelvic trauma)
Uterine inerta- may be inferred from rads and based on hx and clinical signs

30
Q

What fetal factors might cause dystocia

A

low number of fetuses leading to enlargement
mismatch in size, wrong orientation
