Comminuted Fibular Head Fractures With Posterolateral Knee Instability: A Novel Repair Technique Using a Tension-Slide Device
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY: Comminuted proximal fibula fractures or arcuate fractures (OTA/AO 4F1B fractures) can defunction the posterolateral corner (PLC) and result in posterolateral knee instability. Ongoing posterolateral knee instability can limit function, cause significant pain, and lead to early knee arthrosis. The anatomy of the PLC and proximal fibula limits the options for repair of this injury. The ideal method for osteosynthesis of these injuries has not been established. The goals of treatment include reconstitution of posterolateral stability, restoration of the anatomic relationship of PLC structures, and restoration of bone stock that would permit future reconstruction. This article characterizes the injury pattern, outlines the technique, and provides the clinical and radiographic outcomes of osteosynthesis of comminuted fibular head fractures using a novel application of the tension-slide technique.

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.
