    © 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Experimental Biology (2018) 221, jeb174425. doi:10.1242/jeb.174425 REVIEW Rethinking the evolution of the human foot: insights from experimental research Nicholas B. Holowka* and Daniel E. Lieberman* ABSTRACT presumably owing to their lack of arches and mobile midfoot joints Adaptive explanations for modern human foot anatomy have long for enhanced prehensility in arboreal locomotion (see Glossary; fascinated evolutionary biologists because of the dramatic differences Fig. 1B) (DeSilva, 2010; Elftman and Manter, 1935a). Other studies between our feet and those of our closest living relatives, the great have documented how great apes use their long toes, opposable apes. Morphological features, including hallucal opposability, toe halluces and mobile ankles for grasping arboreal supports (DeSilva, length and the longitudinal arch, have traditionally been used to 2009; Holowka et al., 2017a; Morton, 1924). These observations dichotomize human and great ape feet as being adapted for bipedal underlie what has become a consensus model of human foot walking and arboreal locomotion, respectively. However, recent evolution: that selection for bipedal walking came at the expense of biomechanical models of human foot function and experimental arboreal locomotor capabilities, resulting in a dichotomy between investigations of great ape locomotion have undermined this simple human and great ape foot anatomy and function. According to this dichotomy. Here, we review this research, focusing on the way of thinking, anatomical features of the foot characteristic of biomechanics of foot strike, push-off and elastic energy storage in great apes are assumed to represent adaptations for arboreal the foot, and show that humans and great apes share some behavior, and those unique to humans are assumed to be related underappreciated, surprising similarities in foot function, such as to bipedal walking.

  • Charcot Fracture in the Calcaneus After Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Case Report
    Case Report Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2016 Nov-Dec: 6(5):92-95 Charcot Fracture in the Calcaneus after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report Hirokazu Takai1, Katsuhiko Kiyota1, Nobutake Nakane1, Tomoki Takahashi1 What to Learn from this Article? Calcaneal stress fracture may occur after total knee arthroplasty in patients with neuropathic disorders such as a Charcot joint disease. Abstract Introduction: Only a few reports have described calcaneus fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, in this report, we describe a case of calcaneal avulsion fracture that occurred 5 weeks after a TKA in a relatively young male patient with syphilis. Case Report: A 63-year-old man with syphilis had Charcot joint of the right knee. The patient developed severe varus deformity and contracture and experienced severe pain in the knee. TKA was performed to alleviate the pain and improve the patient’s gait. The patient noticed slight heel pain 4 weeks after the TKA, and a calcaneus avulsion fracture in the ipsilateral foot was diagnosed without any trauma 1 week later. Open reduction internal fixation was performed with cannulated cancellous screws and a cerclage wire. 3 weeks after the surgery, partial weight bearing was permitted in an orthotic device. Full weight-bearing was allowed at 7 weeks after surgery. The surgical wounds healed without complications. The calcaneus fracture successfully achieved bone union with appropriate surgical intervention and aftercare. Conclusion: The previous studies have shown that calcaneus stress fracture may occur in elderly osteoporotic women after TKA. Patients with peripheral neuropathy may develop a Charcot fracture after minimal trauma because of decreased protective sensation, even if the patient is a relatively young man without osteoporosis.

Dissertation Adviser: Professor Daniel E. Lieberman Brian James Addison The biomechanics and evolution of impact resistance in human walking and running Abstract How do humans generate and resist repetitive impact forces beneath the heel during walking and heel strike running? Due to the evolution of long day ranges and larger body sizes in the hominin lineage modern human hunter-gatherers must resist millions of high magnitude impact forces per foot per year. As such, impact forces may have been a selective pressure on many aspects of human morphology, including skeletal structure.
