A STUDY OF THE GROSS, MICROSCOPIC, ULTRASTRUCTURAL, AND COMPARATIVE ANATOMY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARTICULAR SURFACES OF THE HUMAN SACROILIAC JOINT
… smooth, shiny, creamy-white appearance of normal articular cartilage. The iliac surface has the rough, dull, bluish appearance of a thin layer of fibrocartilage. Histological and ultrastructural examination confirms the presence of hyaline cartilage on the sacral side and fibrocartilage on the …

Secular Change In the Knee Joint and the Effects of Obesity
… determine if there is a secular change in the articular surfaces of the knee joint, (2) determine if there are differences between normal weight and obese individuals in the articular surfaces of the knee joint, and (3) examine if the secular change in body mass is a causal factor in the …

Multi-object and multi-feature models of thumb anatomy for population based morphological assessment
… measures, namely: the distances between the articular surfaces of the bones; the angle of volar beak protrusion; the angle of trapezial inclination; the surface areas of the articular facets; and the radii of curvature. In line with the respective hypotheses, the distance between the …

Studies of the Interrelationships Between Articular Configurations and the Movements Permitted at the Proximal Interphalangeal Joints in Man
… include those articulations in which the bony surfaces are separated by fibrocartilage or united by interosseous ligaments. They permit slight movement. 3- Diarthroses, are freely movable joints, having a number of characteristics which distinguish them from the synarthroses and amphiarthroses. …

Functional Information in Individual Anterior Tarsal Bones of Anthropoids
… five bones, especially the proportions of the articular surfaces, correlates with weight support, mobility, stability, and direction of stress which in turn relate to habitat and locomotion.

Development and Application of a BioRobotic Simulation of Stance Phase Gait to Study Foot and Ankle Kinematics
… in ankle biomechanics, including influences on articular surfaces, bony motion, and formation of the arches, studies concerning the effects of joint loading are limited.</p> <p>A novel testing protocol was developed to simulate in vivo mechanics of the foot-ankle complex during early stance …

Spatial mechanisms for modelling the human ankle passive motion
Knowledge on how ligaments and articular surfaces guide passive motion at the human ankle joint complex is fundamental for the design of relevant surgical treatments. The dissertation presents a possible improvement of this knowledge by a new kinematic model of the tibiotalar articulation. In this …

Ancestral and Sex Estimation Using E.A. Marino’s Analysis of the First Cervical Vertebra Applied to Three Modern Groups
… eight measurements of the superior and inferior articular surfaces and vertebral foramen of the atlas from individuals of European and African descent from the Terry and Hamann-Todd collections. This study applies Marino’s method to post-1950s individuals who are self-classified as Hispanic, …

The Development of a Multi-Directional Wear Apparatus and the Characterization and Correlation of Biomechanical and Biotribological Properties of Bovine Articular Cartilage
… and biomechanical characterization of articular surfaces was performed with concomitant translational and oscillating rotational motion similar to that experienced in vivo. Various system parameters were evaluated in the designed experiments including normal load magnitude (high/low), …

Funktionell-anatomische Untersuchungen an den Zehengelenken (Articulationes interphalangeae) der Schultergliedmaße des Pferdes
… and distal interphalangeal joints are of particular importance in sporting horses, as degenerative diseases or fractures lead to a loss in performance. It was the objective of this study to investigate several biomechanical properties of the coffin and pastern joints. Forty three specimens …

Sexual Dimorphism and Socioeconomic Status: Comparison between Migrant and Non-migrant Populations
… Significant differences in long bone length, articular surfaces, proximal and distal ends and the midshaft of long bone lengths were found when the migrant and non-migrant samples were compared to the American White samples. Potential explanations for the significant differences can be …

A finite element evaluation of the talocrural join and the effects of ligament injury on joint mechanics
… and susceptibility to chronic degeneration of articular surfaces, but the re have been very few studies that use computer simulation and the finite element method to evaluate how a n ankle ligament injury affects stability, joint pressure, and potential subsequent failure points. Evidence shows …

The application of the homogenisation method to the numerical modelling of cancellous bone
… bone (the soft porous bone which lies below the articular surfaces at weight-bearing joints) provides the medium for the transfer of loads from the artificial component, or prosthesis to the hard, outer cortical bone. Although total joint replacement is usually a successful operation - providing …
