Trabecular Architecture of the Proximal Tibia in Extant Hominids
We demonstrate that the trabecular structure of the proximal tibia is consistent with habitual locomotor loading in extant hominids, which provides the comparative context to interpret knee posture, biomechanical loading, and predominant locomotor behaviors in fossil hominids.
