Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This review celebrates the work of Professor Mike Benjamin, whose anatomical research transformed our understanding of entheses. Entheses are biomechanically complex regions that accommodate the transition between soft connective tissues and bone by natural macroscopic and microscopic adaptations that reduce stress concentration.

Architecture of lower leg muscles in children: Reference curves and potential mechanisms of growth
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Muscle architecture (physiological cross‐sectional area, fascicle lengths and pennation angle) was measured from multimodal MRI scans of the lower legs of 197 children aged ≤15 years. We showed that lower leg muscle volumes (product of PCSA and fascicle length) increase primarily through increases in PCSA (transverse growth) rather than increases in ...

Do plantar calcaneal spurs make the plantar aponeurosis enthesis stronger? A biomechanical analysis
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Novel testing set up for determining enthesial avulsion parameters. Donor calcanei were dissected to isolate the central band of the plantar fascia, and mounted in a custom 3D‐printed rig (Fig A, B, C) for uniaxial tensile testing of the plantar fascia enthesis (Fig D). This study demonstrated no significant differences in the avulsion parameters, Fmax

Direct repair of the chronic ochronotic Achilles tendon rupture: a case report
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare hereditary disease. Ochronotic arthropathy, tendinopathy, and osteopenia/osteoporosis are generally musculoskeletal manifestations in patients with AKU.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Graphical overview of 2D and 3D length measurements of the free Achilles tendon. The figure also illustrates how the typical distal morphology of the soleus muscle affects 2D measurement. Abstract Quantifying strain in the free Achilles tendon (ATF) is essential for understanding its mechanical function, yet existing in vivo studies report inconsistent
