abstract: The mechanisms of the development of knots in the umbilical cord are described. The different types of knots are enumerated. The causative factors for the development of a knot in the umbilical cord are discussed. This paper is based on a statistical evaluation of the deliveries of the Maternity Hospital of the University of Bonn from 1967-1970.
