German term

im ersten schrägen Diameter, fast ausrotiert

German to English Medical Medical (general) Childbirth, newborns
The following is from a report on a childbirth vacuum extraction. The text refers to the infant:

Leitstelle: Kleine Fontanelle
Pfeilnaht: im ersten schrägen Diameter, fast ausrotiert
Kleine Fontanelle: führend

I understand that the Pfeilnaht is the sagittal suture.
Does the "schrägen Diameter" refer to the baby's head? To the position of the baby's head?
What does it mean when the sagittal suture "almost fully rotated"?

Thanks in advance for any help!
