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

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 …

Craniofacial sutures are a ubiquitous feature of the vertebrate skull. Previous experimental
work has shown that bone strain magnitudes and orientations often vary when moving from …

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 fibrous joints between craniofacial bones, providing an interesting model for
studying the biomechanics of the interface between soft and mineralized tissues. To explore …

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 …

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 …

The nasofrontal suture links the nasal complex with the braincase and is subject to
compressive strain during mastication and (theoretically) tensile strain during growth of …

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 …
