Breech presentation at term.
Of 835 cases of breech presentation occurring from 1964 through 1973, 507 which produced mature singleton babies, were studied. This presentation has a high correlation with prematurity. This report indicates that with the term patient, a rational and competent approach results in reduction of the morbidity and mortality rates to equal those for cephalic presentation.
