The practice of obstetrics, designed for the use of students and practitioners of medicine . t fronto-anterior and -posterior—the left hand is the one to use in-ternally for grasping the foot or feet, as this hand most naturally by the shortestpath and with least disturbance of the fetal ellipse comes to the feet and readilyselects one or both for traction. However, in right dorso positions—namely, inright occipito-anterior and -posterior, in left mento-anterior and -posterior, andin left fronto-anterior and -posterior—the righthand should be used, for the above pelves flattened from any cause, and especi-ally if the pelvic inclination is increased, theremay be a decided posterior obliquity of theuterine axis in reference to the axis of the pelvicinlet, with a perfectly movable head. Under suchcircumstances rotation of the fetal back oftenoccurs and the feet are found not to one side, butwell up against the posterior wall of the fundus.
