A DEEP EMBEDDED SELF-TAUGHT LEARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING SUSPICIOUS NETWORK BEHAVIOURS

A ligament-derived graft is provided which comprises a portion of a ligament sample recovered from a mammalian donor and which has been cut approximately in half lengthwise, where the ligament derived graft has dimensions suitable for use in a surgical procedure to repair small to mid-sized, or less load bearing joints. Small joints for which the ligament-derived grafts may be used to repair, include, interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal joint, scapholunate joint, and other joints. In some embodiments, the dimensions of the ligament-derived graft include a length of from about 50 mm to about 150 mm, and a width of from about 3 mm to about 20 mm. In some embodiments, ligament samples used to make the ligament-derived grafts are lateral or medial collateral ligaments. Methods of using such ligament-derived grafts include attaching one or more ligaments, at their ends, to bones on opposite sides of the joint being repaired, so that the ligament(s) extend across the joint. When two grafts are used, they may extend across the joint, either on the same or opposite lateral sides of the joint. femur knee joint MCL - LCL meniscus tibia fibula L1 width L1 lengthG FIG. 2A FIG. 2B
