Delayed Removal of Clavicular Hook Plates; The Effect on Complications and Functional Outcome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether leaving a clavicular hook plate in-situ for longer than six months is associated with a greater complication rate and reduced function compared to when removed within six months as recommended by manufacturer. Patients treated with a hook plate at our institute between January 2005 and October 2015 were categorised into two groups: removed within six months (group A); removed after six months (group B). Complications, ASES and SST score were compared between the groups. Fifty-two patients were identified with 30 patients in group A and 22 patients in group B. There was no significant difference between the groups in the outcome measures obtained from ASES or SST (p = 0.52; p = 0.33) or the complication rate (p = 0.83). Our study suggests that there is no difference between shoulder function and complication rate when the hook plate was removed after six months compared to when removed within six months.

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.
