Recovery of Ulnar Innervated Intrinsic Muscles following Anterior Transposition of the Ulnar Nerve
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A chart review of 26 patients who underwent anterior transmuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve and had a preoperative nerve conduction velocity less than 40 m/s across the elbow was completed. Patients with intrinsic muscle wasting before surgery were contacted for follow-up. One patient returned for follow-up evaluation. Preoperatively, this patient had complete numbness in the small and ring fingers, and severe intrinsic muscle wasting; left hand pinch and grip strengths were 4.5 kg and 34 kg, respectively. At the final evaluation, 67 months following surgery, left hand pinch and grip strengths were 10.9 kg and 54.5 kg, respectively. The patient had good intrinsic muscle reinnervation; his intrinsic hand muscle mass appeared to be equal to the uninvolved hand and there was no evidence of a Wartenberg's sign. This long term patient follow-up suggests that ulnar nerve transposition can facilitate the return of intrinsic muscle mass and function among patients with cubital tunnel syndrome.

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.
