DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001893
Abstract: Abstract Background Inappropriate sagittal plane correction can result in an increased risk of osteoarthritis progression after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Individual and postural variations in sagittal pelvic tilt, along with acetabular deformity, affect joint contact mechanics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.241828
Abstract: If human skeletal shape increases proportionally with size (isometric scaling) this can produce exponential increases in joint contact stresses. However, if skeletal shape changes as a function of size (allometric scaling) this can mitigate increases… read more here.

DOI: 10.1123/jab.2022-0011
Abstract: Skipping has been proposed as a viable cross-training exercise to running due to its lower knee contact forces and higher whole-body energy expenditure. However, how individual muscle forces, energy expenditure, and joint loading are affected… read more here.
