The measurement from the upper border of the sacro-iliac synchondrosis of one side to the iliopectineal tubercle of the opposite side. By most American, English, and German writers the right oblique d. is understood as that one which extends from the right sacroiliac joint, while most French writers regard that as the left oblique diameter. The right is sometimes called the first, and the left the second oblique d. [B. N. A.]
