In spite of burgeoning of new technologies in the field of maxillofacial surgery, such as novel
methods for osteosynthesis, bone substitution and bone regeneration, the reconstruction of …

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

Developing a more complete understanding of the mechanical response of the craniofacial
skeleton (CFS) to physiological loads is fundamental to improving treatment for traumatic …

Surgical reconstruction of craniofacial deformities has advanced significantly in recent years.
However, unlike orthopedic surgery of the appendicular skeleton, the biomechanical …

The mechanical behaviour of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton (CMFS) under physiological
loads is among the least understood in the field of musculoskeletal biomechanics. The …

Premature fusion of craniofacial joints, ie sutures, is a major clinical condition. This condition
affects children and often requires numerous invasive surgeries to correct. Minimally …

The craniomaxillofacial skeleton (CMFS) consists of thin bone structures that are highly
sensitive to the direction and magnitude of loading. Experimental testing of these structures …

In spite of the development of new technologies and treatments in the field of craniofacial
surgery, the reconstruction of post-traumatic, post-ablative and congenital deformities of the …

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 anatomy and development of cranial and facial sutures have been studied in detail
using histological sections, 2D radiographs and more recently CT imaging. However, little …
