Dynamic Changes in Pubic Symphysis and Superior Pubic Ligament During Pregnancy: A Study Using Ultrasound Shear-Wave Elastography.

This study is the first to evaluate dynamic morphological and elastic changes in the pubic symphysis and superior pubic ligament using high-frequency ultrasound and shear-wave elastography. The findings provide critical insights into pelvic adaptations during pregnancy and postpartum, offering valuable anatomical references for the clinical management of pregnancy-associated pelvic discomfort and dysfunction.
