Long-Term Function After Charnley Total Hip Arthroplasty
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to report the functional results and mortality rates of a consecutive series of patients younger than 50 years after Charnley total hip arthroplasty. The original group of 69 patients (93 hips) was followed up until death or a minimum of 25 years after surgery. Of the original 93 hips, 29 had been revised at some point. Functional outcomes included the Short Form-36, Western Ontario and McMaster University University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), 6-minute walk distance, Noyes activity scale, and Harris hip scores and included followup in 42 of 43 living patients. The functional outcome of patients was good, with comparable Short Form-36 scores compared with normative values of healthy age-matched subjects. The 6-minute walk distances and WOMAC scores were slightly lower than healthy normatives but were thought to be influenced by medical comorbidities. Although comorbid medical and musculoskeletal conditions significantly hindered most measures of function, revision surgery or radiographic loosening of components had no significant influence on function. The mortality rates of this cohort of patients were similar to normative values at both 10 and 25 years after surgery.

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.
