Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a dialogue guidance graph that governs a set of operations of an automated dialogue system and that includes encoding a recall operation to a target graphical node of the graph, wherein the recall operation causes: an accessing of a temporary data storage storing a log of data of an active dialogue session between a user and the automated dialogue system, an assessment of a terminality attribute associated with the target graphical node, a determination of whether the terminality attribute is disabled or enabled, wherein if the terminality attribute is disabled, the recall operation, causes the automated dialogue system to revert the active dialogue session to the target graphical node to perform one or more dialogue-based operations between the user and the automated dialogue system that converts the terminality attribute of the target graphical node from the disabled state to the enabled state.

Abstract: A method for treating a bone defect extending between a proximal bone structure and a distal bone structure of a patient may include resecting a region of bone between the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure and encompassing the bone defect, positioning a biodegradable osteogenic scaffold within a biodegradable sleeve, coupling the biodegradable sleeve to a fixation member, positioning the biodegradable sleeve between the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure, and attaching the fixation member to each of the proximal bone structure and the distal bone structure.
