Biomechanical studies of the craniofacial sutures can be classified in three groups: to
understand (1) the inherent mechanical properties of the sutures;(2) the role and function of …

Many bones in mammalian skulls are linked together by cranial sutures, connective tissue
joints that are morphologically variable and show different levels of interdigitation among …

To investigate how cranial suture morphology and the arrangement of sutural collagen fibres
respond to compressive and tensile loads, an idealised bone–suture–bone complex was …

The global biomechanical impact of cranial sutures on the face and cranium during dynamic
conditions is not well understood. It is hypothesized that sutures act as energy absorbers …

Cranial sutures are fibrocellular joints between the skull bones that are progressively
replaced with bone throughout ontogeny, facilitating growth and cranial shape change. This …

Sutures are synarthroses connecting the bones of the head with each other through a
fibrous sutural ligament. The knowledge of their biomechanical properties is relevant in the …

Cranial sutures are complex soft tissue structures whose mechanics are often studied due to
their link with bone growth in the skull. Researchers will often use a cross-sectional two …

Sutures are soft connective tissue articulations between craniofacial bones. Suture
mechanics deals with patterns of mechanical stress experienced in sutures resulting from …

Characterizing the biomechanical behavior of sutures in the human craniofacial skeleton
(CFS) is essential to understand the global impact of these articulations on load …

Previous computational and experimental analyses revealed that cranial sutures, fibrous
joints between the bones, can reduce the strain experienced by the surrounding skull bones …
