Abstract
Although the time required for a nerve to gain sufficient strength to withstand normal physiologic forces of joint motion is unknown, typically nerve repairs are protected up to 3 weeks postoperatively. The authors investigated the mechanical strength of a nerve repair as a function of time. Fifty adult Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sciatic nerve division and repair, and were sacrificed in groups of 10 at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Repaired nerves were then mechanically loaded at 5 mm/min to failure. Gapping across the repair site was captured on high-resolution video. The contralateral sciatic nerve served as a control. A significant increase in tensile strength was gained between 0 and 1 week and between 2 and 4 weeks. Healing nerves achieved 63 percent of the strength of the control by 8 weeks. Controls showed no gain in strength over the testing period. Gapping occurred at lower forces at all time increments. From 0 to 1 week, a significant increase in load necessary to produce gapping was found, which did not increase significantly again until 8 weeks. These results may have implications for postoperative rehabilitation protocols in patients with nerve injuries.

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
