Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

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

The 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 ...

Computed Tomography‐Based Morphometric Analysis Reveals Intercondylar Notch Stenosis and Osteophytes Are Associated With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To quantitatively assess intercondylar notch morphometrics using 3‐dimensional computed tomography reconstruction, evaluate their association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Asian populations, and investigate the prevalence of osteophytes in patients with ACL injury.

Favorable Functional Outcomes and Low Instability Recurrence Rates After the Latarjet Procedure in Adolescent Patients: A Systematic Review

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To assess clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes as well as return‐to‐sports (RTS) rates in adolescent patients (aged 10‐19 years according to the World Health Organization) who underwent the Latarjet procedure. Methods A systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta ...
