1869 G. Busk in Internat. Congr. Prehist. Archæol.: Trans. Third Session, 1868 161 In cases of rickets, the bone, though doubtless occasionally even more compressed than in the platycnemic form, is invariably more or less curved.

1870 G. Busk in Jrnl. Ethnol. Soc. 2 456 This peculiar conformation of the tibiæ, to which we gave the name of ‘platycnemic’, was, I believe, first noticed by Dr. Falconer and myself in 1863.

1873 C. Lyell Geol. Evid. Antiq. Man (ed. 4) vii. 144 The tibia, or shin bone, was somewhat platycnemic, or flattened.

1910 G. Fowke Antiq. Central & Southeastern Missouri 110 The bone is not platycnemic and besides its natural stoutness the shaft is slightly thickened by disease.

1911 Amer. Anthropologist 13 319 Conditions such as..platyknemic tibia..were abundant.

1985 Amer. Jrnl. Physical Anthropol. 67 371 Since the tibia is preferentially loaded in the AP [= anteroposterior] plane by locomotor activities, the platycnemic differences between the sexes may reflect sex-related differences in activity.
