The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a vulnerable region at the interface of skeletal muscle
and tendon that forms an integrated mechanical unit. This study presents a technique for the …

The material properties of some bones are known to vary with anatomical location,
orientation and position within the bone (eg, cortical and trabecular bone). Details of the …

Background Osteoporosis and diabetes are two prevalent conditions among the elderly
population. Each of these conditions can profoundly influence the fracture healing process …

Osteoporosis is an increasing burden for our ageing society. Fracture risk assessment tool
(FRAX) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) have been mainly used as a surrogate, but …

Implant osseointegration is an important factor dictating its long-term efficacy in situ. Along
with various biological factors, it is greatly influenced by the mechanical stimulus at the peri …

Bone and immune cells typically inhabit the same microenvironment and engage in mutual
interactions to collectively execute the functions of the “osteoimmune system.” Establishing a …

Our study shows that the von Mises stress, induced by external load on the humerus of
Eusthenopteron, dissipates through the cortex, trabeculae and the muscles of the pectoral …

The main objective of this work is to show the capabilities of additive manufacturing to obtain
arches and overdentures from titanium alloys. Overdentures are obtained mainly by …
