Growth dynamics of the craniocervical junction

This study delves into the growth dynamics of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) from birth to 18 years, using advanced geometric modeling techniques.
By analyzing age-related changes, covariation patterns, and suture closure, the research provides crucial insights into the coordinated growth between skull and neck structures.
These findings could significantly enhance early diagnosis and the development of patient-specific models for treating abnormalities in craniofacial and cervical spine development.
