This activity reviews the cause and pathophysiology of breech presentation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.

The TBT has shown not to follow their own guidellines. I would encourage the authors to dive deeper into the organization, Breech Without Borders, who are trying to reintroduce breech deliveries worldwide, but especially industrialized countries, like the USA. Benefits versus risk of Caesarean Section need to be more informative of long term impact on both mom and baby (and future babies)
