Is induction of labor a reasonable option for breech presentation?

Whereas spontaneous onset of labor and vaginal delivery for breech presentation is considered to be a safe and effective option in selected cases, the safety of induction of labor is not established yet. The objectives of this study were to describe the outcomes of pregnancy in women induced with a fetus in breech presentation and compare the outcomes with those undergoing planned cesarean delivery.
