Besides, it doesn’ t change the basic problem which is the dimension of the outlet! Steve Based on what do you think doing a little twist would damage the myometrium? And even if it does, the myometrium is so resilient, it will bounce back, it will heal. In fact a patient will have to twist her pelvis anyway in order to get on her all 4's. I am proposing doing the twist and then get back into the McRoberts position and push the baby out. And if you think that's stressful to the fetus - I wonder what to fetus have to say to the intravaginal orthopedic surgery. (But seriously, I am glad you were able to get your baby out by cutting its clavicle.) If you really think about it - rotating the mother hips may actually not be so physiologically dissimilar to the Wood Screw or Rubin's Maneuvers. Allan

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
