Abstract
Medial end clavicular fractures are a rare occurrence. While most of these fractures can be appropriately managed with a nonoperative treatment, some cases of symptomatic nonunion might be surgically addressed to preserve sternoclavicular joint stability and ensure favorable outcomes. The open reduction and osteosynthesis procedure is a commonly performed procedure to treat clavicular fracture nonunion. However, few revision procedures have been described to address the occasional cases of hardware failure or recurrent nonunion of the medial end. In this report, the authors present a case of symptomatic nonunion of the medial clavicle initially treated with osteosynthesis. Implant failure with hardware migration was then treated by medial clavicle resection and stabilization to the sternum using a palmaris longus autograft and the figure-of-eight lacing technique. Excellent functional outcomes at three years of follow-up were obtained. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case reporting on a sternoclavicular stabilization with a tendon autograft for such an important bone deficit.

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
