Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of rotationplasty in treating osteosarcoma of distal femur in children. METHODS: A clinical data of 10 children with osteosarcoma of distal femur treated with rotationplasty between March 2014 and June 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 boys and 3 girls with an average age of 6.7 years (range, 4-10 years). There were 4 cases of osteoblastic osteosarcoma, 4 cases of mixed osteosarcoma, and 2 cases of chondroblastic osteosarcoma. All children were staged as Enneking stage ⅡB. The disease duration ranged from 3.5 to 6.0 months (mean, 4.6 months). The lower limb functional scoring system of 1993 Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS93), Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), and knee mobility were used to evaluate postoperative function. Tumor recurrence and metastases were monitored by radiograph. RESULTS: Poor superficial incision healing occurred in 1 patient, and healed after dressing change. The other incisions healed by first intention. All children were followed up 24-72 months (mean, 52.6 months). No local recurrence was observed during follow-up. Three of the ten patients suffered from metastases including 1 dying of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, 1 alive with tumor, and 1 tumor free survival. Painful callosities and ulcers which related to prosthetic wear occurred in 2 patients and turned up after optimizing prosthetic fit and physiotherapy. The fracture healing time was 2.5-5.0 months (mean, 3.5 months). All children could walk independently at 4 months postoperatively. At last follow-up, the MSTS93 score was 19-25 (mean, 22) and the TESS score was 87-93 (mean, 90). The extension of knee joint mobility with artificial limbs was 0°-10° (mean, 5°), and the flexion of knee joint mobility with artificial limbs was 85°-95° (mean, 90.5°). CONCLUSION: Rotationplasty in treating osteosarcoma of distal femur in children with limb salvage difficulties can effectively preserve the limb function and improve the quality of life, and it can be used as an alternative to amputation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
