Abstract: An implant assembly for use in tissue repair having an adjustable length and comprising: a fixation device comprising a bone facing surface, an outer surface, a first and at least one further aperture extending through the fixation device from the outer surface to the bone facing surface; and a flexible elongate element secured to the fixation device and having first and second free ends.

Abstract: In a method for rotating geometric shape having an assigned texture image, a two dimensional outline of a rotated source geometric shape is defined by performing its perspective projection onto a two dimensional plane. Then, according to the method, the two dimensional outline is split into intermediate rectangles in places where pixel of each line non-parallel to the rotation axis of the two dimensional outline changes coordinates and for each intermediate rectangle the steps of finding a corresponding part of the texture image taking perspective correction into account. One of the last steps executes copying with scaling a corresponding part of the texture image in order to fit it into the intermediate rectangle.

Abstract: A method for drawing geometric shapes comprises the steps of obtaining a request to draw at least two geometric shapes, each having assigned a depth coordinate and at least one having the depth coordinate variable across its surface, dividing the geometric shapes into rectangles such that each rectangle has a constant depth coordinate, sorting the rectangles according to the depth coordinate value and drawing the rectangles in the sorted order so as to form an output image.
