Abstract
Postsurgical infections of the shoulder joint involving Cutibacterium acnes are difficult to diagnose and manage. Despite the devastating clinical complications and costly health care burden of joint infections, the scarcity of joint infection models was identified as an unmet need by the 2019 International Consensus on Orthopedic Infections. In this study, we have developed a novel 3D shoulder joint implant mimetic (S-JIM) that includes a surgical metal surface and supports a co-culture of C. acnes and patient-derived shoulder capsule fibroblasts. Our findings indicate the S-JIM can generate a near anaerobic interior environment that allows for C. acnes proliferation and elicits fibroblast cell lysis responses that are consistent with clinical reports of tissue necrosis. Using the S-JIM, we have provided proof-of-concept for the use of mass spectrometry in real-time detection of C. acnes joint infections during surgery. The S-JIM is the first in vitro cell culture-based biomimetic of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) that provides a preclinical method for the rapid and reliable testing of novel anti-PJI interventions. Impact statement We have developed the first 3D laboratory biomimetic of the postsurgical human shoulder joint to study periprosthetic joint infections.

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
