Abstract
Pistol grip deformity of the femoral head-neck junction and slipped capital femoral epiphysis can cause anterior impingement leading to pain, cartilage damage and eventual osteoarthritis. Osteoplasty of this metaphyseal prominence, with or without concomitant intertrochanteric osteotomy, using a surgical dislocation approach, can effectively treat this problem. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed in 19 patients who underwent osteoplasty or osteoplasty/intertrochanteric osteotomy via Ganz-type surgical dislocation with average 12-month follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires and radiographs were obtained and evaluated. In the osteoplasty group, 7 patients improved, 4 were unchanged, and 2 worsened. In the osteoplasty/osteotomy group, 5 of 6 patients improved. Patients with chondral flaps had less improvement. No avascular necrosis was noted postoperatively, and all trochanteric osteotomies healed. The surgical dislocation approach, combined with osteoplasty and/or bony realignment, is a safe efficacious treatment option for symptomatic pistol grip deformity. Outcomes are worse if there is preexisting cartilage damage.

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
