简介
Objective
The development of bipedalism is a very complex activity that contributes to shaping the anatomy of the foot. The talus, which starts ossifying in utero, may account for the developing stages from the late gestational phase onwards. Here, we explore the early development of the talus in both its internal and external morphology to broaden the knowledge of the anatomical changes that occur during early development.
Materials and Methods
The sample consists of high‐resolution microCT scans of 28 modern juvenile tali (from 36 prenatal weeks to 2 years), from a broad chronological range from the Late Roman period to the 20th century. We applied geometric morphometric and whole‐bone trabecular analysis to investigate the early talar morphological changes.
Results
In the youngest group (<6 postnatal months), the immature external shell is accompanied by an isotropic internal structure, with thin …
