Significance of fiber orientation in the interosseous sacroiliac ligament: An anatomical and histological study of the implications of its mechanical adaptation

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fiber structure of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament exhibits a distinct organization, with predominantly vertical fibers in the inferior region and predominantly horizontal fibers in the superior region. These fiber alignment patterns likely reflect mechanical adaptation to the sacroiliac joint motion and may support imaging‐based evaluation of its

Architecture of lower leg muscles in children: Reference curves and potential mechanisms of growth

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

MRI‐based, 3D analysis of Achilles tendon longitudinal strain under passive loading reveals limitations in conventional 2D measurement

open access: yesJournal 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

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.
