Prospective, Multi-Center, Pilot Study to Evaluate Symptom Relief in Patients with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) Treated with the KineSpring® Knee Implant for Load Reduction - The SOAR Protocol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The study described here is designed as a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm pilot study. Eligible subjects with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee will be enrolled in the study and will receive the KineSpring® Knee Implant System. The study population will consist of adult patients between 25 and 80 years of age that have been diagnosed with medial knee osteoarthritis and have failed to improve after at least 6 months of conservative medical treatment. A patient is considered to have a clinically important change in OA pain and function with a minimum improvement of 20% compared to baseline measures. We will collect data on the safety and effectiveness of the KineSpring in patients with primarily unicompartmental medial knee osteoarthritis through 24 months of postoperative follow-up. These data will provide insights on the overall clinical success and safety outcome of KineSpring System.

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.
