Abstract
BACKGROUND: Auricular deformity presents a formidable challenge for the reconstructive surgeon, and osseointegrated auricular reconstruction provides a safe and reliable option. The authors sought to review long-term results of osseointegrated auricular reconstruction at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine. METHODS: A chart review examining demographics, skin reactions (defined by a modified Holgers classification), and complications at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine was completed. A multivariate binary linear logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether there was a correlation between the likelihood of a skin reaction and certain patient demographics. A survey was then developed to assess patient satisfaction. RESULTS: Seventy-five osseointegrated auricular reconstructions were performed on 69 patients at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine from 1989 to 2007; mean patient age was 39 years (range, 9 to 76 years). The most common indication for reconstruction was posttraumatic, then congenital and oncologic. The frequency of Holgers reactions was as follows: no reaction, 69 percent; red tissue, 15 percent; excessive tissue, 10 percent; red and moist tissue, 3 percent; granulation tissue, 2 percent; and soft-tissue necrosis, 1 percent. Multivariate binary linear logistic regression analysis found that smoking, younger age, and female gender were associated with the occurrence of a reaction. The overall failure rate of osseointegration in the mastoid region was 2 percent. Survey results found generally satisfied patients willing to undergo the same procedure again, although 55 percent felt that they had had a skin reaction. CONCLUSION: The authors present long-term results showing both success and complications of the osseointegrated prosthetic ear reconstruction for a variety of different etiologies and age groups.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
