Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

External Adhesive Marker Technique Shows Excellent Reproducibility for Measuring Patellar Tendon‐to‐Lateral Trochlear Ridge Distance on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the agreement between a simple magnetic resonance imaging‐based measurement method for determining the patellar tendon‐to‐lateral trochlear ridge (PT‐LTR) distance using an external adhesive marker and a previously validated conventional measurement technique.
