with the paper,closing this study at last. It should be very useful to anyone studying Crocodylia or wanting to educate people about locomotion. I’m a bit tired of hearing that galloping is a mammalian behaviour when we know so well that ...
Here we’re looking at the back side of a right hind foot of an elephant, at the level of the ankle joint. The joint capsule surrounding the ankle joint has been cut open in my dissection to expose the terribly pathological, but still somewhat white and shiny, cartilages (middle of the...
Arthrodesis, also known as artificial ankylosis or syndesis, isthe artificial induction of joint ossification between two bones by surgery. This is done to relieve intractable pain in a joint which cannot be managed by pain medication, splints, or other normally indicated treatments. Is walking good...

causing partial or total restriction in the ability of a joint to move. Ankylosis can affect any joint in the body but is more common in knee, shoulder, ankle, and hip joints. The most common causes of ankylosis include inflammatory and degenerative processes,congenital disorders, trauma, infect...

Here, the bone growth was fulfulling a role to limit joint mobility and thereby restrict painful joint motions- the joint was fusing into an ankylosis (no, not an ankylosaur, but same Greek root). Here is a closer look, removing the tibia and fibula that were at the top of the screen...
