Explanation

"Running locking fashion" is a term used in medicine, specifically in surgery, to describe a particular method of stitching or suturing wounds. In this method, each stitch is secured or 'locked' before the next one is made, creating a continuous line of stitches. This technique is often used in areas where there is a lot of tension or movement, as it provides a strong and secure closure. It's like lacing up a shoe tightly to ensure it stays put, even during vigorous activity.
