Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Morphologic and mechanical adaptive variations in Saiga tatarica calcaneus: A model for interpreting the bone functional adaptation of wild artiodactyl in captivity [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Captivity alters the locomotor behavior of wild artiodactyls and affects the mechanical loading of the calcaneus; however, the resulting adaptive changes in calcaneus morphology have not been sufficiently studied to date.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

Calcaneal Lengthening after Tarsal Bone Fusion for Massive Calcaneus Defect Reconstruction
Orthopaedic SurgeryObjectives Calcaneus defect remains challenging with limited strategies for reconstruction. Current methods, including graft transplantation, substitution, and distraction osteogenesis, showed limited advantages with certain shortcomings.

Avulsion fracture of the calcaneus [PDF]
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2018 A 75-year-old woman was ascending an icy staircase when she had a sudden onset of right calf and heel pain, which resulted in abrupt dorsiflexion of her plantar-flexed right foot. She presented to the emergency department.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous secondary osteons. This allometric relationship held for the whole sample, males and sedentary well‐nourished individuals, but not for females or other ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Our study explores the plastic changes induced by captivity on the microanatomy of the talus of wild boars, revealing denser bone with tighter trabecular networks but a lower relative maximum thickness of compact bone. These plastic adaptations can serve to detect early processes of domestication in the archaeological record.
