Abstract
Because of the limitations imposed by the thoracic cage and the paravertebral structures, anterior access to T3 remains a challenge, particularly for the application of anterior fixation devices. Specifically, the appropriate trajectory for the correct placement of T3 screws requires significant caudal access; this may necessitate the addition of a high-level thoracotomy to the traditional combined neck exposure/sternotomy approach to the cervicothoracic junction (ie, the "trap door" exposure). The authors describe a technique for the placement of the T3 screws of a T1-T3 spinal titanium alloy plate via an "interaortocaval subinnominate window" in a patient who underwent a T2 vertebrectomy and polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction. The case history, imaging studies, illustrations, and intraoperative photographs are presented. This novel technique allows for the optimal placement of anterior fixation devices in the upper thoracic spine without the need to extend the caudal exposure with an anterolateral thoracotomy.

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
