Abstract
Background: Obstetrical brachial plexus injury involving the suprascapular nerve is conventionally treated using an accessory nerve transfer or grafting. In circumstances where the accessory nerve is unsuitable, transfer of nerves with redundant function may be an alternate method of restoring function. Methods: This case describes the surgical technique of restoring shoulder function by reinnervating the musculature of the suprascapular nerve with a dorsal scapular nerve transfer in a patient with an obstetrical brachial plexus injury. Results: At 15 months post-operatively, the patient shoulder movement improved from zero muscle contraction to full range of motion against gravity measured by the active movement scale. His composite mallet score was 23 out of 25, with perfect scores in abduction and external rotation. Secondary surgery was not required. Conclusions: This case demonstrates a novel alternative to suprascapular nerve reinnervation in circumstances where the accessory nerve is unavailable, damaged, or otherwise suboptimal. Successful results were achieved, thus warranting consideration in clinical practice as well as further exploration and study.

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
