Background. Cranial sutures are deformable joints between the bones of the skull, bridged
by collagen fibres. They function to hold the bones of the skull together while allowing for …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the influence of cranial sutures on the crack
behaviour of a human skull after the impact. The authors focused on the assessment of skull …

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

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

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 …

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 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 …

Cranial vault and facial sutures interpose between mineralized bones of the skull, and may
function analogously to appendicular and cranial base growth plates. However, unlike …
