Extensor Hallucis Brevis Tendon Transfer for the Correction of Drop Toe Deformity After Dorsalis Pedis Tendocutaneous Free Flap Harvest
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dorsalis pedis tendocutaneous (DPTC) free flap is an ideal option for the reconstruction of the combined defect of the dorsal hand skin and multiple extensor tendons, whereas it possess not only soft tissue problems, but also symptomatic drop toe deformity in the donor site. We have corrected this drop toe deformity with a tendon transfer technique, using the extensor hallucis brevis muscle, which was preserved during the DPTC free flap harvest. The donor site exposing the transferred tendons was covered with another thin free flap. Two cases that underwent this technique exhibited satisfactory alignment and active extension of the toes. This tendon transfer technique combined with free flap coverage overcomes almost all the problems in the donor site of the DPTC free flap, achieving excellent contours of both the dorsal hand and the foot.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
