Comparison of Complications in X‐Ray Versus Ultrasound‐Guided Hip Arthroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To report the complication rates and frequency of iatrogenic injury to the cartilage and labrum when using an ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopic technique compared with the standard x-ray-guided technique. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data, intraoperative videos were evaluated for iatrogenic injury during portal establishment. Postoperative complications and revision procedures were monitored for 12 months. RESULTS: The study included 460 patients, with 38% in the ultrasound cohort. Video review showed a 2% complication rate of femoral head scuffing and <2% labral injury in both techniques, with no significant difference between techniques in cartilage injury (P = .90) or labrum puncture (P = .41). Six patients underwent revision procedures, 2 in the x-ray group and 6 in the ultrasound group. One patient developed a deep infection postoperatively. There were no other major complications. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopy is a safe alternative to the standard x-ray-guided procedure in patients with a BMI less than 35. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, retrospective cohort.

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.
