The significance of rudimentary ulnas and fibulas during development of angular limb deformities in foals

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Carpal valgus deformities remain a common challenge in foals, yet their aetiology is often multifactorial and rarely attributable to a single anatomical anomaly. Recent case reports by Müller et al. (2025) suggest that rudimentary ulnas may play a causative role in these deformities, but such claims warrant closer scrutiny.

Descriptive epidemiology of long‐term injuries in jump racing Thoroughbreds in Great Britain

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Race‐related injuries in horse racing, especially those requiring extended recovery, are a welfare concern and threaten the sport's social licence. Previous studies predominantly report on fatalities; however, serious non‐fatal musculoskeletal injuries often end horses' racing careers or have a high recurrence risk.

Development and validation of a novel approach for quantifying dimensions of the lateral ligaments in human ankle dissections

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Traditional measurement techniques in cadaveric dissection fail to account for the changes in soft tissue length during joint movement. We have developed a new, simple method to obtain more accurate measurements of ligament length and validated using the lateral ankle ligaments group.

Piezosurgery versus Reciprocating Saw: Qualitative Comparison of the Morphology of Cutting Surfaces in Ex Vivo Human Bone

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The aim of this study was to morphologically evaluate the differences in the cutting surfaces of bone segments obtained by reciprocating saw (RS) and two piezosurgical devices (Piezosurgery Medical—PM—and Piezosurgery Plus—PP) in ex vivo human fibulae ...

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

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 ...
