NOFUSS: Navigated Orthopaedic Fixation using Ultrasound System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fractures of the sacroiliac joint often require treatment through internal fixation. This procedure is typically guided by the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy, using an untracked C-arm device. However, this involves ionizing radiation exposure and the possibility of screw malplacement. We introduce the Navigated Orthopaedic Fixation using Ultrasound System (NOFUSS): an ultrasound (US) based end-to-end system for providing real-time navigation for iliosacral screw (ISS) insertions. Our system consists of an US imaging device and an optical tracking camera, together with computational algorithms for automatic processing of intraoperative data. In a cadaver trial of 6 specimens, we found that the ISS insertions performed using NOFUSS demonstrated accuracy comparable to conventional fluoroscopy guidance in the three specimens for which we could obtain good ultrasound images, reduced insertion time, and required no ionizing radiation.

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.
