Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gynecoid pelvis is the typical female pelvis best suited for vaginal delivery.The android pelvis is triangular (or heart-shaped)and the shape can cause difficulty during fetal descent.The anthropoid pelvis is more likely to result in a posterior fetal presentation due to its oval shape at the inlet that is in the anterior-posterior plane.The platypelloid pelvis usually prevents vaginal delivery owing to the fetus descending in a transverse presentation.
