Abstract
CASE: The reconstruction of large nerve gaps remains a reconstructive challenge. Here, we present a case report of brachial plexus reconstruction using nerve grafts harvested as spare parts from an amputated limb. It also allowed us to use motor nerve grafts to reconstruct defects in the posterior cord and musculocutaneous nerve. The patient recovered good shoulder and elbow function at 2.5 years with evidence of innervation distally on electromyography. CONCLUSION: Spare part surgery should always be kept in a surgeons' reconstructive algorithm. Reconstruction of large nerve gaps can be achieved with autologous nerve grafts in certain circumstances.

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
