Estimating Achilles tendon healing progress with convolutional neural networks [PDF]
Quantitative assessment of a treatment progress in the Achilles tendon healing process - one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder in modern medical practice - is typically a long and complex process: multiple MRI protocols need to be acquired and analysed by radiology experts.

This study develops RPTH by re‐modifying teriparatide and designs a biomimetic microstructured scaffold (BMRP) loaded with RPTH to address osteoporotic tendon‐to‐bone interface repair. The BMRP restores tissue architecture by balancing bone homeostasis and remodeling the microstructure, achieving functional recovery in an osteoporotic rotator cuff tear

Repair of chronic Achilles tendon rupture using Bosworth’s technique
Background: A large number of ruptures of the Achilles tendon occurs in the watershed hypovascular region (zone II) of the tendon which is approximately 2–6 cm proximal to the insertion of tendon at calcaneum.

What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Leveraging Tendon Vibration to Enhance Pseudo-Haptic Perceptions in VR [PDF]
Pseudo-haptic techniques are used to modify haptic perception by appropriately changing visual feedback to body movements. Based on the knowledge that tendon vibration can affect our somatosensory perception, this paper proposes a method for leveraging tendon vibration to enhance pseudo-haptics during free arm motion.
