I believe that the position you are describing is referred to as a complete breech in the US literature. It presents with breech presenting and flexed hips and flexed knees. The frank breech has flexed hips and extended knees.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
