The concept of cranial osteopathy was introduced by WG Sutherland, DO, and became the
foundation for setting the rules for use of skull palpation and many other techniques in the …

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 complex, thin and irregular bones of the human craniofacial skeleton (CFS) are
connected together through bony articulations and connective tissues. These articulations …

Sutures are greatly involved in both normal craniofacial growth and developmental
anomalies. Having clear parameters for defining their morphology is fundamental to properly …

Background Today there is still a controversy surrounding the existence of mobility between
the bones of the skull, the foundation on which cranial osteopathy techniques are based …

Background The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of transsutural
distraction osteogenesis applied to the maxillary complex with a new internalized distraction …

A 13-month-old dog was investigated for the complaint of open-mouth locked jaw. There
were not any previous episodes of trauma witnessed. Computed tomographic evaluation …

Craniofacial sutures are fibrous connections between the flat bones in the skull, allowing a
small amount of movement to absorb strain and load as long as they are patent. In the …

Morphometric analysis of cranial sutures can provide evidence of microfractures, diastasis,
and early sutural closure. Recently, mCT has allowed for morphometric analyses on much …

Cranial sutures are a network of vasculature, extracellular matrix, and fibers that join the
bones in the skull of most vertebrates. Not only do sutures play an important mechanical role …
