Abstract
Hip fusion used to be a common procedure in children and young adults, but it is now exceedingly rare. My results of hip fusion takedown more than 20 years ago were quite acceptable. Of 20 cases, 88% achieved more than 90 degrees of flexion and 75% stopped limping by the end of one year. The elderly would revert to limping when tired. As no simple hips are currently fused, the results of hip fusion takedown in the last 20 years are very much inferior. Of 28 cases, limp is absent in 20%, mild in 12% and severe in 68%. Range of motion is acceptable with 80% eventually achieving more than 90 degrees of flexion. There are complications, but these are quite manageable. The aseptic loosening rate is small and the longevity is high. Current implants, therefore, can easily handle the hip fusion takedown. As the incidence of limp is prohibitively high, additional techniques to reinforce the hip abductors either concurrently or more likely as a secondary procedure as suggested by Whiteside should be learned by all those proposing to carry out hip fusion takedown.

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.
