Giant pelvis
Giant Pelvis
Giant pelvis (pronunciation: /ˈdʒaɪənt ˈpɛlvɪs/) is a medical term used to describe an unusually large pelvis in relation to the rest of the body.
Etymology
The term "giant pelvis" is derived from the English word "giant", meaning unusually large, and the Latin word "pelvis", which refers to the large, bowl-shaped bone structure near the base of the spine.
Definition
A giant pelvis is typically defined as a pelvis that is significantly larger than the average size for a person's age, sex, and body type. This condition can be congenital, meaning it is present at birth, or it can develop later in life due to certain medical conditions or treatments.

Treatment
