The Correlation between the Elastic Modulus of the Achilles Tendon Enthesis and Bone Microstructure in the Calcaneal Crescent.
Background: The calcaneal enthesis, an osseous footprint where the Achilles tendon seamlessly integrates with the bone, represents a complex interface crucial for effective force transmission. Bone adapts to mechanical stress and remodels based on the applied internal and external forces. This study explores the relationship between the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enthesis and the bone microstructure in the calcaneal crescent.
Methods: In total, 19 calcaneal-enthesis sections, harvested from 10 fresh-frozen human cadaveric foot-ankle specimens (73.8 ± 6.0 years old, seven female), were used in this study. Indentation tests were performed at the enthesis region, and Hayes' elastic modulus was calculated for each specimen. Micro-CT scanning was performed at 50-micron voxel size to assess trabecular bone microstructure within six regions of interest (ROIs) and the cortical bone thickness along the calcaneal crescent.
Results: Significant Spearman correlations were observed between the enthesis elastic modulus and trabecular bone thickness in the distal entheseal (ROI 3) and proximal plantar (ROI 4) regions (R = 0.786 and 0.518, respectively).
Conclusion: This study highlights the potential impacts of Achilles tendon enthesis on calcaneal bone microstructure, which was pronounced in the distal calcaneal enthesis, suggesting regional differences in load transfer mechanism that require further investigation.

期刊介绍:
TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.
Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.
Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
