Abstract
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of wrist rotation on the scapholunate interval in the posteroanterior radiograph and to identify radiographic landmarks on the posteroanterior projection that can be used to assess position. METHODS: Eleven healthy cadaveric wrists were radiographed in the neutral position and subsequently were rotated and imaged from 30° pronation to 30° supination in 10° intervals. At each interval, the scapholunate interval was measured as well as the following landmarks: (1) the visible perimeter of the base of the hook of the hamate; (2) the radial-ulnar distribution of the dorsal nonarticular surface of the distal third metacarpal head; (3) the radial-ulnar distribution of the pisiform about the longitudinal axis of the ulna; and (4) the overlap of the pisiform and triquetrum. RESULTS: The scapholunate interval was largest in the neutral position and linearly decreased by 34% for every 10° of pronation and decreased nonlinearly by 86% after the first 10° of supination. The appearance of the distal third metacarpal head was shown to be sensitive to both pronation and supination. The perimeter of the hook of the hamate and the distribution of the pisiform compared to the ulna were both shown to be sensitive to supination, whereas overlap of the pisiform and triquetrum was not shown to be sensitive to either direction of rotation. CONCLUSIONS: Our results highlight the significant effect of rotation on radiographic landmarks at the wrist, indicating that 10° of supination can drastically alter the developed radiograph.

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 it
