Outcome after Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty for Arthritic Hip in Patients with Residual Poliomyelitis: A Case Series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: In this case series, we investigated the outcome of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) for advanced hip osteoarthritis in patients with residual poliomyelitis to evaluate its clinical usefulness for these patients. METHODS: 11 unilateral cementless primary THA were performed to arthritic hips in patients with residual poliomyelitis. 7 were in paralytic and 4 were in nonparalytic limbs. The mean follow-up duration was 79.9 months. Retrospective clinical evaluations with various scores and radiological evaluations were made. RESULTS: Harris Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short-form (SF)-36 physical scales were significantly improved after the surgery. However, UCLA activity score and SF-36 mental scale were not. Because of remaining leg length discrepancies, all but 1 noted a residual limp. In nonparalytic hip, functional acetabular cup inclination during weight bearing significantly increased from installed inclination. Other than 1 case of posterior dislocation, no complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Although the overall result itself is excellent, THA for these patients cannot improve limp, physical activity and mental status. Surgeons should be aware of the change of the inclination of acetabular cup during mobilisation, especially for THA in contralateral hip.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
