Abstract

The breech presentation is a common occurrence in the obstetrical practice,accounting for about 3-5% of singleton fetuses at delivery.The Term Breech Trial demonstrated the planned cesarean section to be associated with a significant reduction in perinatal mortality and short term morbidity.Although the safety of cesarean section is widely reported,there is still a certain proportion of neonatal injuries,especially fracture.This paper focuses on the neonatal birth injury by cesarean section of breech presentation and the corresponding preventive measures and treatment,in order to reduce the newborn injury as much as possible.
