Rotated hypoplastic hemipelvis: a cause of obstructive dyspareunia

Obstet Gynecol. 1987 Sep;70(3 Pt 2):509-10.

Abstract

Repeat Chiari innominate osteotomy in a young woman with traumatic monoplegia and subsequent hypoplasia of the hemipelvis and leg resulted in rotation of the pubic ramus into the vagina, causing obstructive dyspareunia. Resection of the inferior pubic ramus through a transperineal approach allowed successful intromission with resolution of her dyspareunia.
