Abstract
Posttraumatic arthritis, arthritis secondary to instability, and nonunion or malunion about the elbow may be treated by various methods. Recommended first-line treatment in the younger, more active patient population is nonprosthetic techniques. Total elbow arthroplasty should be considered primarily as a salvage procedure for these patients. Careful patient selection will determine whether total elbow arthroplasty is an acceptable choice, despite its inherent risks and complications. Prosthetic replacement is more applicable for patients with low physical demands who are older than 60 years of age with pain, stiffness, and/or instability of the elbow who will more likely be able to comply with postoperative rehabilitation and strict activity restrictions. Previous incisions, gross instability, periarticular fibrosis with ulnar nerve encasement, loss of bone and/or soft tissue, and previous infections represent obstacles for prosthetic reconstruction in these patients. The use of unlinked total elbow designs require good bone stock with little deformity and stable capsuloligamentous support, which uncommonly is found in elbows after trauma. Linked semiconstrained prostheses have been used most frequently with good short-term results reported in the literature. Reported failure rates after longer followup have led to a search for improvements in prosthetic design, cementing techniques, and better patient selection.

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
