STUDY OF THE CLINICO-RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOME OF PCL RETAINING TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY IN SEVERE VARUS DEFORMITY: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: The role of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been widely discussed in the orthopedic literature. It has been suggested that PCLretaining can produce femoral rollback, which increases the range of exion and prevents posterior translation. This in effect, reduces loosening and excessive polyethylene wear by decreasing the shear stresses at the xation surfaces. With consideration proper selection of patients, adequate attention to surgical technique and asepsis, proper Intra-operative soft tissue balancing, correct alignment of prosthesis and postoperative rehabilitation of patients, cruciate retaining total knee replacement has yielded excellent results Aim: The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinic-radiological outcome of PCL retaining total knee arthroplasty in severe varus deformity Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study in which patients were randomly selected, and PCL retaining surgery was done for those knees with severe varus deformity and assessed the functional outcome using functional knee scores and oxford knee score and WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) questionnaires during the period between July 2016 to June 2018. Conclusion: PCL-retaining total knee arthroplasty appears to provide better range of motion and stair-climbing ability similar to anatomical knee.

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.
