The isometric position for the graft is important in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. It is well known that the femoral position is more critical than tibial side. But, there is few deciding method of proper graft position after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. So we planned to evaluate the ideal femoral isometric position with 6 adult cadavaric femurs and exact radiographs. After the insertion of femoral interference screw on ideal isometric position, we obtained roentgenograms of true lateral view and 10, 20, 30, 45 degree internal and external rotation views. Then we measured the shortest distance from the posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle to posterior border of interference screw on the radiographs. We also measured true distance between posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle to the posterior margin of femoral tunnel after cutting of distal femur. Based on this study, we could not determine the permissible rotation degree of radiographs. But we concluded that if the distance between posterior cortical margin of lateral femoral condyle and posterior border of interference screw ranges 4.5-6.5mm on the lateral view, the femoral position is considered as a relatively ideal isometric good position.

The PCL reconstruction in chronic isolate PCL reconstruction was still controversy. 1) In isolate PCL deficient knee, functionally not so bad as like ACL deficient knee. 2) The result of the PCL reconstruction was not as good as ACL reconstruction. Therefore, isolate PCL injuries has been treated as nonoperatively. Hey Grovere, who was the first to attempt an intra-articular reconstruction of the PCL, utilized the semi-tendinous tendon other static procedures have been described in only a few cases with very limited follow-up. Dynamic procedures utilizing the medial head of the gastrocnemius has been reported by Hugston and Degenhardt, Kennedy and Grainger, and Insall and Hood. These procedures did not improve static stability. Dr Clancy, who was introduce the use of BPTB for the PCL reconstruction transtibial and femoral tunnel. From 1995, untill early 1990 PCL reconstruction was done as tend as placement of the isometric point. Physiometic placement of Anatomical placement of the femoral tunnel in PCL reconstruction were introduced in 1995. Tibial Inlay Technique was reported by Dr Berg in 1995. The main advantage of the tibial Inlay Technique was to avoid fraying of the graft at the posterior tibial tunnel orifice. In complete PCL ruptured and severely posterior unstable knee, dual femoral tunnel technique will be to get better result than one bundle technique. To achieve restoration of normal posterior laxity, it is critical to address the posterior as well as the posterolateral structures. Futher research is necessary to evaluate new surgical approches such as double-bundle reconstructions and tibial inlay techniques as well as improved techniques for capsular and collateral ligament injuries.

Three-dimensional (3D) human pose reconstruction from single-view image is a difficult and challenging topic. Existing approaches mostly process frame-by-frame independently while inter-frames are highly correlated in a sequence. In contrast, we introduce a novel spatial-temporal 3D human pose reconstruction framework that leverages both intra and inter-frame relationships in consecutive 2D pose sequences. Orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm, pre-trained pose-angle limits and temporal models have been implemented. Several quantitative comparisons between our proposed framework and recent works have been studied on CMU motion capture dataset and Vietnamese traditional dance sequences. Our framework outperforms others by 10% lower of Euclidean reconstruction error and more robust against Gaussian noise. Additionally, it is also important to mention that our reconstructed 3D pose sequences are more natural and smoother than others.

Segmented planar imaging detector for electro-optical reconnaissance (SPIDER) is an emerging technology for optical imaging. However, this novel detection approach is faced with degraded imaging quality. In this study, a 6 × 6 planar waveguide is used after each lenslet to expand the field of view. The imaging principles of field-plane waveguide structures are described in detail. The local multiple-sampling simulation mode is adopted to process the simulation of the improved imaging system. A novel image-reconstruction algorithm based on deep learning is proposed, which can effectively address the defects in imaging quality that arise during image reconstruction. The proposed algorithm is compared to a conventional algorithm to verify its better reconstruction results. The comparison of different scenarios confirms the suitability of the algorithm to the system in this paper.

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction algorithm using multi-view images. We acquire 25 images from multi-view cameras, which consist of a $5{\times}5$ array of cameras, and then reconstruct an SR image of the center image using a low resolution (LR) input image and the other 24 LR reference images. First, we estimate disparity maps from the input image to the 24 reference images, respectively. Then, we interpolate a SR image by employing the LR image and matching points in the reference images. Finally, we refine the SR image using an iterative regularization scheme. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides higher quality SR images than conventional algorithms.

Bubble behaviors in two-phase flows have been analyzed by tomography methods such as an algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) and a multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART). Initially, a bubbly flow and an annular flow have been investigated by cross-sectional view using computer synthesized phantoms. Two tomography methods have been compared to obtain more accurate results of the two-phase flows. Then, reconstruction of three-dimensional density distributions of phantoms with two and three bubbles have been accomplished by the MART method which provided the better results for the two-dimensional reconstructions accurately to analyze the bubble behaviors in the two-phase flow.

From 1989 to 1994, authors have reconstructed the posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) in 51 knees with an autogenous central one-third of the patellar tendon by transtibial two tunnel technique, but there were not a few cases of unfavorable results. So from January 1995, we have reconstructed the PCL deficient knees by "modified tibial inlay technique" to avoid the grafted tendon abrasion at the posterior opening of the tibial tunnel(killer turn). Purpose of this study was to compare the results of two surgical techniques and what its advantages and disadvantages are. We could follow up 39 cases of transtibial two tunnel techique group(group A) more than one year, average being 23.7 months and 21 cases of modified tibial inlay technique group(group B) more than 12 months, average being 14.7 months. The clinical results were evaluated by the OAK knee scoring system ($M{\ddot{u}}ller$'s criteria) and the posteror stress roentgenography (push view) with Telos stress device compared with the uninjured knees. The arthroscopic second-look findings were also evaluated. In group A : The $M{\ddot{u}}ller$'s knee score was average 80.1 points, the posteror displacement in push view was average 4.4mm at the last follow up. There were 17 cases(44%) of unfavorable results which showed unstable posterior displacement more than 4mm compared with the uninjured knee in push view. Among the 19 cases of arthroscopic second look examinations, nearly normal PCL appearances of the grafted tendons were noted only in 9 cases(47%). In group B : The $M{\ddot{u}}ller$'s knee score was average 86.7 points, the posterior displacemnet in push view was average 3.6mm at the last follow up. There were 5 cases(23.8%) of unfavorable results which showed unstable posterior displacement more than 4mm compared with the uninjured knee in push view but 4 out of 5 cases showed 6mm posterior displacement in push views. Among the 7 cases of arthroscopic second-look examinations, 6 cases(86%) showed nearly normal PCL appearances of the grafted tendons. In modified tibial inlay technique of PCL reconstruction, it was easier to pull out the BPTB and in cases of remained laxed meniscofemoral ligament it was easier to preserve the remained structures than transtibial two tunnel technique. We expect the "modified tibial inlay technique" may solve the problem of grafted patellar tendon abrasion at the posterior orifice of tibial tunnel and may contribute to the successful PCL reconstruction.

This manuscript presents a real-time solution for 3D human body reconstruction with multiple RGB-D cameras. The proposed system uses four consumer RGB/Depth (RGB-D) cameras, each located at approximately $90^{\circ}$ from the next camera around a freely moving human body. A single mesh is constructed from the captured point clouds by iteratively removing the estimated overlapping regions from the boundary. A cell-based mesh construction algorithm is developed, recovering the 3D shape from various conditions, considering the direction of the camera and the mesh boundary. The proposed algorithm also allows problematic holes and/or occluded regions to be recovered from another view. Finally, calibrated RGB data is merged with the constructed mesh so it can be viewed from an arbitrary direction. The proposed algorithm is implemented with general-purpose computation on graphics processing unit (GPGPU) for real-time processing owing to its suitability for parallel processing.

Distal clavicle tunnel widening was observed in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with semitendinous tendon autografts in a patient with acromioclavicular joint injury. Acromioclavicular joint separation, in a 44 years-old man was treated by coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. We have performed x-ray evaluation on 2years 10months after surgery. The immediate postoperative tunnel size was measured 4.5mm in diameter. At postoperative 2years 10month the tunnel diameter was from 9.3 to 11.4mm. But the weightbearing clavicle view showed no significant acromioclavicular joint separation. Moreover the patient complained only minor intermittent shoulder discomfort.
