The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Modified Das De Procedure in Peroneus Longus Tendon Dislocation: Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Peroneal tendon dislocation is an uncommon ankle injury that may be misinterpreted as a lateral ankle sprain due to similar clinical characteristics. It frequently leads to delayed treatment and recurrent instability. Although various surgical approaches have been described, including osseous procedures such as groove deepening and soft‐tissue
