Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica of the Ankle Joint: A Case Report

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2011
Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare non-hereditary epiphyseal disease that mimics synovial chondromatosis of the joints. The disease mainly targets long bones of the lower extremities and tarsal bones.

Updates on intra‐articular corticosteroid administration in horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Intra‐articular (IA) corticosteroid administration in equine athletes has gained increased attention recently, particularly in racing. Despite widespread corticosteroid use in equine practice for decades, there are still a lack of equine‐specific studies to address key questions related to their use.

Correction of congenital deformity of hind limbs of cat by femoro-tarsal arthrodesis: a case report

Veterinární Medicína, 2008
Congenitally deformed tibia-fibulas of both hind limbs were diagnosed in a four-month-old, female, domestic shorthair cat that was unable to bear weight and whose movement was painful on both stifle and hock joints.

Short‐term survival of mallards following external transmitter attachment

Ibis, EarlyView.
Capturing birds for external transmitter attachment allows researchers to collect abundant movement and behavioural data across spatial and temporal gradients but can expose birds to additional stress due to prolonged handling, sometimes leading to mortality.

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

Journal 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

Journal 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 ...

Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

Morphofunctional effects of captivity on the microanatomy of the talus bone in a wild ungulate (Sus scrofa)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our study explores the plastic changes induced by captivity on the microanatomy of the talus of wild boars, revealing denser bone with tighter trabecular networks but a lower relative maximum thickness of compact bone. These plastic adaptations can serve to detect early processes of domestication in the archaeological record.

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

Radiographic and Clinical Assessment of Unidirectional Porous Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate to Treat Benign Bone Tumors

Biomimetics
The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiographic changes, clinical outcomes, and complications following unidirectional porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (UDPTCP) implantation for the treatment of benign bone tumors.
