Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty Using the Conical Femoral Stem
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of cementless total hip arthroplasty using a conical stem. Materials and Methods: From June 2005 to December 2007, total hip arthroplasty using the conical stem was performed in 47 patients and 51 hips. The most common causes for total hip arthroplaty were osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 32 cases. The mean followup period was 74.3 months (range: 62-93 months) and the mean age was 51.2 years (range: 36-84 years). The clinical evaluation included the Harris hip score, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and pain on the inguinal area or thigh. Radiographic evaluation was performed for determination of the fixation status of the implant, the radiolucent line, subsidence, loosening and heterotopic ossification around the acetabular cup and the femoral stem. Results: At the most recent follow-up, the mean Harris hip score was 94.1 points and the WOMAC score was 11.3 points. Radiologically, bone ongrowth was seen in all cases without migration of acetabular cup, femoral stem, changing of the position, subsidence and loosening. Complications included two cases of posterior dislocation, one case of heterotopic ossification, and one case of deep vein thrombosis. Conclusion: Cementless total hip arthroplasty using the conical femoral stem shows good clinical and radiologic results in treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head with normal canal flare index and femur neck fracture with stove pipe type.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
