Footling fetal presentation
Incomplete breech presentation

A footling presentation (sometimes termed an incomplete breech presentation) is a variation in fetal presentation and is considered a form of breech presentation. It is uncommon and thought to account for around 10-30% of births. In this presentation the fetus has a longitudinal lie but has one of both hips extended with feet presenting towards the pelvis. This therefore can be subclassified as

single footling presentation: one leg extended
double footling presentation: both legs extended

Footling presentation has the highest rate of cord prolapse(15-18%) out of the other breech presentations. ³
