Abstract
Pelvic discontinuity with associated bone loss is a complex challenge acetabular revision surgery. Reconstruction by the use of ilio-ischial cages combined with trabecular metal acetabular components and morsellised bone (the component-cage technique) is a relatively new method of treatment. The trabecular cup provides a good environment for bone graft remodeling and eventual bone or fibrous ingrowth. The cage protects the trabecular metal cup until stabilisation occurs. The cage not only protects the cup but places the articulating center at the correct level. We reviewed a consecutive series of 32 cases of acetabular revision reconstructions with pelvic discontinuity who had been treated by the cup-cage technique. The mean follow-up was 38 months (24.0 to 68.0). Failure was defined as a migration of a component of >5mm. In 29 hips there was no clinical or radiological evidence of loosening at the last follow-up. The Harris hip scores improved significantly from 44.6 (sd 10.4) to 78.7 (sd 10.4) points (p In three hips (11.5%) the construct migrated at one year after surgery. The complications included two cases of dislocations, one of infection and one of partial palsy of the peroneal nerve. Our findings indicated that the treatment of pelvic discontinuity by the component-cage construct is a reliable option.

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.
