Abstract: A method for creating and organizing bookmarks in documents, such as PDF documents. Each bookmark includes multiple data fields and is associated with a location of the document. The data values of multiple data fields are inputted by the user when creating the bookmarks. The bookmarks are displayed in a bookmark pane adjacent to the document content display. The bookmarks can be color coded based on data values of data fields specified by the user. The bookmarks can be sorted based on data values of data field(s) specified by the user. In one example, the document is a multipage PDF document.

Abstract: A system for laterally decompressing one or more spinal nerves comprises an access sheath, a tool guide, and a bone removal tool. The access sheath is percutaneously placed adjacent a facet joint using needle dilation or a small incision. The tool guide is then placed through the access sheath adjacent an anterior surface of the superior articular process of the facet joint. The bone removal tool is advanced over the guide track to remove bone from the anterior surface. Optionally, after bone removal has been completed, the cutting tool may be advanced through the access sheath in order to partially cut the ligamentum flavum to further relieve compression of the spinal nerve(s).
