The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives
Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Arthroscopic Technique for Anterior Calcaneal Process Avulsion Fractures and Bifurcate Ligament Injuries Using Suture Tape Augmentation. [PDF]
Abstract Avulsion fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus are frequently associated with injury to the bifurcate ligament and may result in persistent lateral midfoot pain and instability. Although open fixation or fragment excision has traditionally been used, these approaches may fail to restore ligamentous function and joint stability ...

Policy-Evidence Misalignment in Commercial Payer Coverage Criteria for Knee Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation. [PDF]
Purpose To evaluate how major United States commercial insurers justify medical‐necessity criteria for knee osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation, characterize the level of evidence (LOE) cited within their policies, and assess whether coverage criteria are supported by the cited literature.

Biomechanics of aging and osteoarthritic human knee ligaments
Background Ligaments work to stabilize the human knee joint and prevent excessive movement. Whilst ligaments are known to decline in structure and function with aging, there has been no systematic effort to study changes in gross mechanical properties in

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Double Extra‐Articular Reinforcement
Abstract This study describes a technique for double extra‐articular reinforcement associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for patients with both internal and external rotational instability, using reinforcements from the hamstrings and the anterior half of the peroneus

Estimating in vivo midfoot and hindfoot joint locations using external skin markers
Abstract Musculoskeletal modeling offers a non‐invasive approach to analyze human movement, enabling estimation of forces that are difficult to measure experimentally. In musculoskeletal modeling, the human body is represented as rigid segments connected by joints.

Deltoid all-inside repair in SER IV bimalleolar-equivalent ankle fractures
Introduction: Ankle fractures are the second most common fractures of the lower limb. In supination-external rotation (SER) stage 4 injuries, the medial malleolus or the deltoid ligament is disrupted.

Freeze-thaw treatment effects on the dynamic mechanical properties of articular cartilage. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As a relatively non-regenerative tissue, articular cartilage has been targeted for cryopreservation as a method of mitigating a lack of donor tissue availability for transplant surgeries.
