Assessment of shoulder function following scapular free flap
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The scapular system free flap has been increasing in popularity to reconstruct short segment mandibular bony defects. It is important to assess donor site morbidities systematically. METHODS: Prospective cohort study using objective measures of range of motion (ROM) and shoulder strength were measured. Subjective disability was evaluated with validated questionnaires-Neck Disability Impairment Index and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients were recruited-19 with scapular tip and 7 with lateral border scapular free flap. Decreased ROM on the operated side was noted for shoulder abduction, shoulder flexion, and external rotation. No significant difference was noted for shoulder extension. Strength was reduced for shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and external rotation. Subjective measurements did not indicate significant shoulder function disruption. CONCLUSION: Patients with scapular free flap reconstruction did not experience significant shoulder morbidity. Measures of shoulder ROM and power were objectively affected; however, subjective measures of shoulder disability were not significantly affected.

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.
