Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Purpose To evaluate the biomechanical performance of the sewing machine‐like suture (SMS) technique against three established techniques (two cinch‐loop (TCL), modified Mason‐Allen (MMA), and double Mason‐Allen (DMA)) for transtibial pull‐out repair of posterior medial meniscal root tear (PMMRT) in a porcine model.

Abstract Anterior knee pain is a common problem that can be difficult to treat. One potential cause of these symptoms is supratrochlear rim, which has been linked to isolated patellar chondromalacia in patients with patella alta and without any history of patellar dislocation or subluxation.

Abstract Capitellar osteochondritis dissecans is most frequently encountered in overhead and tumbling adolescent athletes. Traditional management with abrasion chondroplasty or microfracture results in fibrocartilage formation and variable return to sport rates, whereas osteochondral autograft transfer system or osteochondral allograft transplantation ...

Two‐Handed Knot Tying Technique for Arthroscopic Surgeries
Abstract Knot tying is a widely used and essential technique in arthroscopic tissue repair and fixation. Although it shows perceived simplicity, its technical complexity exceeds that of open surgery due to the challenges of suture fixation within confined intra‐articular spaces and demanding execution requirements.

Abstract Patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon but highly treatable injury, with excellent repair outcomes and low reoperation rates. Chronic patellar tendon ruptures or repair failures pose a clinical challenge, but the success rates of reconstruction with extensor mechanism allograft or autograft are reported to be high in the literature. Still, the
