The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Anatomy and variation in the paraphyletic Mosasaurus lemonnieri assemblage from the Craie phosphatée de ciply, Belgium

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Arthroscopic Bioabsorbable Fixation Achieves Favorable Outcomes for Unstable Knee Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesions Compared With Open Fixation and Metal Implants: A Systematic Review

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To systematically review studies evaluating the outcomes, complication rates, and revision rates among open, arthroscopic, and combined internal fixation techniques for unstable osteochondritis dissecans lesions of the knee, with specific attention to implant type and skeletal maturity.

Preoperative Sagittal Tibial Tubercle‐Trochlear Groove Distance Predicts Postoperative Outcome in Patients Undergoing Combined Trochleoplasty and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the association between the preoperative sagittal tibial tubercle‐trochlear groove (sTTTG) distance and postoperative patient‐reported outcomes after combined patellofemoral ligament reconstruction and deepening trochleoplasty in patients with recurrent lateral patellar instability and high‐grade trochlear dysplasia.

Editorial Commentary: Sizing Up the Distal Radius: Age, Sex, and Density Considerations for Glenoid Reconstruction

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Allograft bone block reconstruction for glenoid bone loss has become increasingly used, with favorable clinical outcomes. Among the available donor grafts, the distal tibia allograft remains the most used. Current evidence evaluating alternative grafts, particularly the distal radius, is largely limited to cadaveric, biomechanical, and ...

Editorial Commentary: Contact Is Not Containment: In High‐Grade Trochlear Dysplasia, the Patellotrochlear Index Quantifies Cartilage Overlap in the Absence of Osseous Constraint

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Patella alta remains among the most critical anatomical risk factors for recurrent patellofemoral instability and failure of patellar stabilization surgery. The Caton‐Deschamps index references the patella to the tibia by measuring the position of the patella relative to the anterosuperior margin of the tibial plateau.
