U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06886854) titled 'Evaluation of the Impact of Rotating Posterior and Transverse Presentations At 2 Hours of Full Dilation' on March 14.

For the remaining 10%, maintaining a posterior or transverse position leads to longer labor, increased instrumental deliveries, more cesarean sections, and more severe perineal tears.
