Best Answer

In answer to my own question, just in case someone else wonders, it is a little unusual in the US for a woman to have a pelvic exam without stirrups. It is apparently the norm in the UK, Australia and New Zealand however. Some women prefer no "stirrups" or "supporters" as they are called in the UK, but some women may prefer the use of the devices. Talk with you doctor about what is most comfortable for you individually.

What is the function of the obturator foramen?

According to Gray's Anatomy, the obturator foramen is contained by sometimes called pelvic region of the trunk) is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the lower limbs (legs).The pelvis includes several structures:The bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton, the part of the skeleton connecting the sacrum region of the spine to the femurs.Subdivided into the pelvic girdle (the two hip bones, which are part of the appendicular skeleton) and the pelvic region of the spine (sacrum, and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton)The pelvic cavity, typically defined as a small part of the space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, delimited by the pelvic brim above and the pelvic floor below; alternatively, the pelvic cavity is sometimes also defined as the whole space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, subdivided into:The greater or false pelvis, above the pelvic brimThe lesser or true pelvis, below the pelvic brimThe pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm, below the pelvic cavityThe perineum, below the pelvic diaphragmIn the human, the pelvic skeleton is formed in the area of the back (posterior dorsal), by the sacrum and the coccyx (the caudal portion of the axial skeleton), and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the side), by a pair of hip bones, the lower extremity, (parts of the appendicular skeleton).In an adult human being, the pelvic skeleton is thus composed of three large bones, and the coccyx (3-5 bones);However, before puberty, each hip bone consists of three discrete (separate) bones - the ilium, ischium, pubis - that have yet to fuse at adulthood; thus, in puberty, the human pelvic skeleton can comprise more than 10 bones, depending upon the composition of the person's coccyx.

Why is it easier to perform a lumber puncture on an adult?

Doctors are trained to perform lumbar punctures on adult. Their lumbar spine, which is where the needle is inserted, is naturally in a different position due to the height of an adult. Since children are smaller, and have a shorter spine, their lumbar spine is in a different position. It's not that much more difficult to do it on a child, the doctor just has to break from his natural thought process and locate the lumbar spine in a different position.
