  2. Epineurial repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epineurial_repair

    The length and efficiency of recovery is depended on the regenerative process that may require 6 to 18 months. The length of the nerve and site of the injury influences the recovery time. To avoid tension during recovery (generally 10–14 days), minimizing movement of the nerve may reduce risk of further damage. [1]

  3. Pterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterion

    The pterion is the region where the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones join. [1] It is located on the side of the skull, just behind the temple.It is also considered to be the weakest part of the skull, which makes it clinically significant, as if there is a fracture around the pterion it could be accompanied by an epidural hematoma.

  4. Sphenoparietal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphenoparietal_suture

    The sphenoparietal suture is the cranial suture between the sphenoid bone and the parietal bone. It is one of the sutures that comprises the pterion.

  5. Wormian bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormian_bones

    Wormian bones, also known as intrasutural bones or sutural bones, [1] are extra bone pieces that can occur within a suture (joint) in the skull.These are irregular isolated bones that can appear in addition to the usual centres of ossification of the skull and, although unusual, are not rare. [2]

  6. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    The parietal bones (/ p ə ˈ r aɪ. ɪ t əl / pə-RY-it-əl) are two bones in the skull which, when joined at a fibrous joint known as a cranial suture, form the sides and roof of the neurocranium. In humans, each bone is roughly quadrilateral in form, and has two surfaces, four borders, and four angles. It is named from the Latin paries ...

  7. Squamosal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamosal_suture

    The squamosal suture, or squamous suture, arches backward from the pterion and connects the temporal squama with the lower border of the parietal bone: this suture is continuous behind with the short, nearly horizontal parietomastoid suture, which unites the mastoid process of the temporal with the region of the mastoid angle of the parietal bone.

  8. Fibrous joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_joint

    A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull (cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres . A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull.

  9. Lambdoid suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambdoid_suture

    The lambdoid suture, or lambdoidal suture, is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone. It is continuous with the occipitomastoid suture .
