Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

HISTORY: A 66-yr-old women 12 months post- left knee TKA. Chief complaint includes persistent left knee pain to the antero-lateral aspect of the knee joint and lateral aspect of the patella. Pain and limitations reported in both daily living and recreational activities. Patient needs a cane for prolonged walking and hiking and requires bilateral handrail assist to perform stairs. Patient is highly motivated and adherent to physical therapy treatment plan but has reached a therapeutic plateau without any further progress. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: At orthopedic physical exam, left knee presents full ROM, no instability and negative J-sign. Main findings include persistent quadriceps and hamstrings weakness, Iliotibial band retraction, poor hip stabilization and poor proprioception. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: 1. Patellar maltracking 2. Ilio-tibial band syndrome 3. Chronic synovitis 4. Prosthetic loosening 5. Quadriceps tendonitis TEST AND RESULTS: Left knee radiographs: • Normal lower limb, patellar and prosthetic alignment • No sign of prosthetic loosening Dynamic echography: • Mild articular swelling • Signs of chronic synovitis • Signs of antero-lateral soft-tissue restriction at the PF compartment possibly linked with scar tissue Knee Kinesiography (dynamic 3D functional assessment): • Neutral frontal alignment maintained dynamically • Excessive external tibial rotation during swing to heel strike phase suggesting altered patellar tracking • Limited flexion excursion (absorption) during loading phase known to increase PF joint loads FINAL WORKING DIAGNOSIS: 1. Dynamic patellar maltracking 2. Chronic synovitis TREATMENT AND OUTCOMES: 1. Home based biomechanical corrective and neuromuscular focused exercise program aiming to change push-off/swing pattern addressing external tibial rotation movement 2. Education to manage chronic pain and inflammation 3. Prescription of topical anti-inflammatory medication, twice daily. At 4-month follow-up, Knee Kinesiography retest showed restored optimal push-off pattern without the presence of excessive external tibial rotation. Patient reports walking 2 hrs /day without pain and inflammation, has resumed short hikes, climbs stairs without handrail assist (descent with single handrail assist), is able to play doubles tennis with limited effusion.

Not 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.
