DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.70010
Abstract: Sexual selection via contest competition has equipped countless organisms with weaponry in their appendages to overpower their opponents. Here, we tested (1) whether greater upper limb length—measured as span controlling for biacromial width—confers an advantage… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/18632521221135192
Abstract: Purpose: One of the most common treatment methods for moderate limb length discrepancy in children is growth modulation using tension band plating. Coronal plane deformities after tension band plating for limb length discrepancy have been… read more here.
