HALISTERETIC PELVIS Meaning and
Definition
-
A halisteretic pelvis is a medical term used to describe a type of pelvic deformation or anomaly that is primarily characterized by the presence of a high and wide pelvis. This condition can be observed in individuals of both male and female genders and typically results in a distorted overall shape of the pelvis.
The term "halisteretic" refers to the unique pelvic profile observed in individuals affected by this condition. The pelvis is described as halisteretic due to its abnormal curvature and wider-than-normal dimensions. This may cause difficulty in weight-bearing activities and may have implications for childbirth.
The high and wide pelvis characteristic of a halisteretic pelvis is often the result of a developmental or congenital anomaly. It is occasionally associated with skeletal dysplasias or abnormalities, such as rickets or osteomalacia, which can affect the growth and development of the pelvis.
The diagnosis of a halisteretic pelvis is typically made through physical examination and radiographic imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans. Treatment options for this condition depend on the underlying cause and specific symptoms experienced by the individual. It may involve non-surgical interventions, such as physical therapy, or surgical procedures to correct any associated skeletal abnormalities or to manage complications.
Understanding and diagnosing a halisteretic pelvis is crucial for appropriate management and treatment of affected individuals. Regular medical follow-ups, including imaging studies, can help monitor any changes in the pelvic structure over time and ensure appropriate intervention when necessary.
