A female pelvis, the diameters of which are less than normal. Tarnier and Baden's classification of contracted pelves is as follows:

A female pelvis, the diameters of which are less than normal. Tarnier and Baden's classification of contracted pelves is as follows: 1.Pelvic anomalies due to excess of malleability of pelvic bones, as, rachitic p., flat p., osteomalacic p.

A female pelvis, the diameters of which are less than normal. Tarnier and Baden's classification of contracted pelves is as follows: 3. Anomalies resulting from abnormal articulation of the vertebral column _ with the sacrum, as, spondylolisthesis, spondylizeme.

A female pelvis, the diameters of which are less than normal. Tarnier and Baden's classification of contracted pelves is as follows: 4. Anomalies resulting from the abnormal direction of the upward and inward force exerted by the femora, as, unilateral lameness, bilateral lameness.

A female pelvis, the diameters of which are less than normal. Tarnier and Baden's classification of contracted pelves is as follows: 5. Anomalies resulting from primary defects in the development of pelvic bones, as, excess of development, localized and symmetrical or localized and asymmetrical.

A pelvis the shape of which is changed by contraction in one or more diameters. Contracted pelvis are classified by Jarnier and Budin in six classes, viz.: I. Pelvic anomalies due to excess of malleability of the pelvic bones. II. Abnormalities due to abnormal transmission of body weight to the pelvis. III. Anomalies resulting from abnormal articulation of the vertebral column with the sacrum. IV. Anomalies resulting from the abnormal direction of the upward and inward force exerted by the femors. V. Anomalies resulting from primary defects in the development of the pelvic bones. VI. Atypical deformities.
