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

Journal 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 ...

Conservative Management of Os Navicularis in a Boxer: A Case Report

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth
Os navicularis is an accessory navicular bone which is seen in about 15-20% of the normal population. It requires treatment if it becomes symptomatic, more so in case of highly active athletes.

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

Journal 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

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.

GROSS ANATOMY AND BIOMETRY ON TIBIOTARSUS, FIBULA AND TARSOMETATARSUS OF INDIAN EAGLE OWL (BUBO BENGALENSIS) [PDF]

Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2018
The present study was conducted on the tibiotarsus, fibula and tarsometatarsus of Indian eagle owl. Tibiotarsus was formed by the fusion of the distal end of the tibia with the proximal row of the tarsal bones. Proximal extremity presented large medial

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 ...

Outcomes of diode laser‐facilitated ankylosis of the distal tarsal joints in horses: A retrospective study of 64 cases

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the outcomes of diode laser‐facilitated (DLF) ankylosis using different surgical techniques to treat distal tarsal osteoarthritis (OA) in horses. Study design Retrospective cohort study. Animals A total of 64 client‐owned horses with distal tarsal OA treated with DLF ankylosis between 2011 and 2021 in a referral hospital ...

Successful Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Hypertrophic Osteopathy in a Cat

Veterinary Sciences
An eight-year-old spayed female Abyssinian cat presented with lameness. Palpation revealed swelling, heat, and a reduced range of motion in the stifle and tarsal joints in both hind limbs. A radiographic examination of both hind limbs revealed periosteal
