Abstract
Ring avulsion can lead to soft tissue compromise resulting in eventual digit failure or restriction of motion. The authors present use of the venous flow through flap for simultaneous soft tissue and digital vessel reconstruction in severe ring avulsion injury. A retrospective review of ring avulsion injuries treated with transplantation of an arterialized (A-V-A) venous flap between 1999 and 2006 was conducted. Indications included digits which were debrided and required soft tissue and digital artery reconstruction. Eight venous flaps were transplanted for 3 Urbaniak class II and 5 Urbaniak class III ring avulsions. Average size of the venous flap was 6 cm(2). All flaps and digits survived without partial necrosis. The soft tissue envelope was supple in all cases. Total active motion (TAM) ranged from 160 to 210 degrees. The arterialized venous flow-through flap is a reliable solution for the complex ring avulsion injury which requires simultaneous soft tissue and digital vessel reconstruction.

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
