Open Reduction and Internal Fixation and Cement-In-Cement Revision for Selected Vancouver B Proximal Femur Periprosthetic Fractures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The incidence of periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures is increasing with the increase in arthroplasty being performed as well as aging populations. We describe an open reduction and internal fixation and cement-in-cement technique utilizing a well-fixed cement mantle. The advantages of this allow for a shorter operative time, reduction in risk of iatrogenic femoral fractures, and reduction in blood loss. This was a retrospective study reviewing 20 patients that underwent this technique for periprosthetic fractures. Thirty percent (n = 6) of patients underwent subsequent surgery. We had a 95% (n = 19) union rate with 1 case refracturing through the old fracture. This technique can allow for shorter operative times and a lower physiological insult in reducible periprosthetic proximal femur fractures with a stable cement mantle.

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.
