Introduction
and objective
To show that USG, which is used in routine pregnancy examination, can be useful in the diagnosis of pelvic girdle pain.
Materials and Methods In our study, the interpubic distance width was measured with USG in 287 patients who had routine pregnancy control in addition to their normal examinations. Necessary clinical tests were performed by orthopedics and traumatology specialist in order to clarify the diagnosis of pelvic girdle pain. The results were noted and IBM SPSS Statistics 20 program was used for evaluations and p <0.05 was accepted as the statistical significance limit.
Results it was observed that the width of the interpubic distance increased in patients with pelvic girdle pain, and the interpubic distance did not exceed 10 mm in patients without pelvic girdle pain.
Conclusion In our study, a significant relationship was found between pelvic girdle pain and interpubic distance widening. We believe that it is useful to measure the interpubic distance with USG in the diagnosis of pelvic girdle pain.
