“…MRI discovers abnormalities in the pubic area during pregnancy [9] . Although many previous studies have showed changes and separation of the pubic symphysis [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , few data are available on changes of sacroiliac joints [ 8 , 15 , 16 ]. We assessed pelvic alignment and sacroiliac joints using a three-dimensional (3D) pelvic model based on MRI in a pregnant woman during gestational weeks 28 – 39, and at 4 and 72 weeks after childbirth.…”

3-dimensional pelvic models based on magnetic resonance images (MRI) can be used to investigate accuracy and specifics of changing pelvic alignment during pregnancy and after childbirth. Few studies have investigated changes of pelvic alignment during pregnancy and after childbirth using three-dimensional pelvic models. This case report documents the changes of pelvic alignment during late pregnancy and after childbirth using MRI-based three-dimensional (3D) pelvic models. This was a longitudinal observation case report. A woman was imaged with MRI at 28 and 39 gestational weeks, as well as 4 and 72 weeks after childbirth. Greater internal, anterior, and downward rotation of both innominates at week 39 was observed from that at gestation week 28. Decreased internal, anterior, and downward rotation of both innominates at week 4 after child birth was observed compared with that at gestation week 39. We report the first case in Japan of changes of pelvic alignment measured using an MRI-based 3D pelvic alignment model during pregnancy and after child birth. This case suggests that the small changes of pubic area and greater separation of anterior portions of sacroiliac joints. Internal, anterior, and downward rotation of both innominates was observed in a Japanese primipara woman having no pelvic pain.
