| obstetric conjugate | The diameter that represents the shortest diameter through which the head must pass in descending into the superior strait and measures, by means of X-ray, the distance from the promontory of the sacrum to a point on the inner surface of the symphysis a few millimeters below its upper margin. Synonym: obstetric conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
