Arthroscopic Bridge Technique for PCL Avulsion: Surgical Technique and Key Points

This study redescribes an arthroscopic bridge technique for repair of avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament. The procedure is performed step-to-step. In this technique we created two bone tunnels in the anterior aspect of the tibia and inferior medial of the tibia tuberosity and then create suture fixation of the fragment using the suture bridge. The arthroscopic bridge technique was used...

Key Points for Dementia Diagnosis and Management

Permanente physicians and staff are part of a new phenomenon: Kaiser Permanente (KP) has never had so many older members living so long and with so many medical conditions. The logarithmic growth in technology and the concomitant heightened public expectations have created a menu of seemingly endless diagnostic and intervention choices. The practice implications of these numerous advances are n...

Income Inequality and Violent Crime Key Points

Image key points detection and matching

In this article existing key points detection and matching methods are observed. The new wavelet transformation based key point detection algorithm is proposed and the descriptor creation is implemented. Keywords—key points, descriptors, SIFT, SURF, wavelet transform.
