Intramedullary Cancellous Screw Fixation of Simple Olecranon Fractures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Olecranon fractures and osteotomies are treated with either tension-band wiring or plate-screw fixation; however, these methods of fixation have high rates of symptomatic hardware, resulting in revision surgery. We describe the novel use of intramedullary noncannulated long screws to gain rigid internal fixation and allow early range of motion. Our procedure differs from traditional intramedullary olecranon fixation as the longer screws, which can commonly be found on many pelvic fixation sets, allow for endosteal purchase at the isthmus of the ulna, which increases the pull-out strength of the screw. This procedure can be done quickly and requires minimal exposure, which minimises anaesthetic exposure, blood loss, and tourniquet time. The construct is not palpable subcutaneously and therefore is less likely to result in symptomatic hardware and revision surgery.

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.
