The present study was to determine the characteristics of the ankle skeletal structure in patients with talus Hepple V type. We conducted a retrospective study on the skeletal structure of the talus in 110 patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus and in control participants. The radiographic measurements taken include the following: in the coronal plane - depth of talus frontal curvature, length of the lateral and medial malleolus; in the sagittal plane - radius and height of talus, angle of tibial lateral surface, tibiotalar sector, and vertical neck angle. The osteochondral lesion of the talus showed a significantly larger mean radius (mean ± SD, 21.4 ± 2.5 mm; p < .001) and height (mean ± SD, 26.0 ± 2.7 mm; p < .005). It also demonstrated a longer mean medial malleolus length (mean ± SD, 15.7 ± 2.4 mm; p < .005), a larger mean vertical neck angle (mean ± SD, 86.2 ± 5.4°; p < .050), and a greater mean tibial lateral surface angle (mean ± SD, 80.0 ± 4.5°; p < .001). And there was a greater mean frontal curvature depth (mean ± SD, 3.9 ± 0.6 mm; p < .005). Overall, this study found that patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus had a larger vertical neck angle and tibial lateral surface angle, a longer talus radius and medial malleolus length, a higher talus height, and a deeper frontal curvature depth.

Biomechanical analysis of spinal range of motion and intervertebral disc loadings in normal and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis models.

Objective: While the Lenke classification enhances our structural understanding of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the biomechanical implications for spinal range of motion (ROM) and intervertebral disc (IVD) loadings remain unclear. This study aims to quantitatively explore and compare these biomechanical responses in normal thoracolumbar spines and those with various curvatures of Lenke types under pure bending conditions.
Methods: The baseline thoracolumbar finite element (FE) model was derived from a comprehensive human body FE model, validated, and calibrated against spinal responses under dynamic compression and quasi-static bending conditions.

Since its discovery, the natural endocast of the Taung cranium has played a central role in the interpretation of human brain evolution. Aspects of the endocast including the identification of the lunate sulcus, possible expansion of the parietal lobe, and rounded profile suggested to R. Dart that the Taung individual was aligned with humans and not with other anthropoid primates, yet these interpretations were immediately controversial and remain so today.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common deformity, requiring regular screening and monitoring. While radiological measurements are considered the gold standard, X-ray exposure poses significant risks. A noninvasive spinal device offers a radiation-free alternative for measuring spinal curvature.

Purpose: The impact of ventriculomegaly (VM) on cortical development and brain functionality has been extensively explored in existing literature. VM has been associated with higher risks of attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders, as well as cognitive, language, and behavior deficits. Some studies have also shown a relationship between VM and cortical overgrowth, along with reduced cortical folding, both in fetuses and neonates.

The handstand is an exercise performed in many sports, either for its own sake or as part of physical training. Unlike the upright bipedal standing posture, little is known about the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand, which may hinder coaching and reduce the benefits of this exercise if not performed correctly. The purpose of this study was to quantify the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand using radiographic images to characterize the strategies employed by the spino-pelvic complex during this posture.
