[The contemporary history of breech delivery].
After the last 50 years, the problems raised by breech presentation may be summarized as follows: during this period, foetal prognosis has been notably improved, the improvement is, nevertheless, considered to be insufficient in the present sociocultural context, the improvement has been brought about by various means and methods for which it is not easy to establish a ranking of values, too many differences remain concerning the significance of the presentation itself, as well as the results obtained with the various therapeutic approaches, these uncertainties prevent definition of the best management approach and, consequently, prevent fresh progress from being made, these uncertainties can only be removed by making an effort to integrate and summarize all that has been or will be published concerning the subject.
