Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

open access: yesJournal 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.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Acupuncture‐Integrated Chinese‐Western Medicine Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol Following Acute Achilles Tendon Repair: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that acupuncture‐integrated accelerated rehabilitation after acute Achilles tendon repair significantly reduces early postoperative pain and swelling, facilitating mobilization and enhancing objective functional recovery at 12 weeks compared to traditional and sham acupuncture protocols. ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative pain and
