Overview

Surface anatomy is the study of anatomical landmarks and structures that can be identified on the exterior of the body through visual inspection or palpation, serving as a critical foundation for clinical procedures and physical examination. Research published in the International Journal of Human Anatomy addresses surface anatomy through investigations of clinically relevant landmarks and their underlying structures across diverse body regions. Studies have examined neurovascular anatomy in the foot, including the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel and the medial calcaneal neurovascular bundle, providing detailed morphological data essential for surgical approaches. Investigations of cranial structures include comparative analyses of mandibular neurovascular canals and clinical anatomy of the newborn cranial vault. The journal has published work on nerve communications in the face, tibial morphology in specific populations, and anatomical considerations for procedures such as pericardiocentesis. Educational research has explored innovative approaches to teaching neuroanatomy through virtual interactive tools. This body of work underscores the importance of precise anatomical knowledge for safe clinical practice, surgical planning, and medical education, bridging the gap between fundamental anatomical science and its practical application in patient care.
