Proximal Ulnar Reinsertion of the Triceps Brachii Tendon with a Synthetic Implant in a Dog with Nonreconstructible Olecranon Fracture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Objective Reporting the reinsertion of the triceps brachii onto the proximal ulna as a salvage procedure in a dog with nonreconstructible olecranon fracture. Case Description A Labrador Retriever was presented with a comminuted olecranon fracture. Initial fracture stabilization was unsuccessful, resulting in implant failure and a nonreconstructible comminuted fracture, thus preventing triceps tendon reattachment. Revision surgery was performed after the implants and bone fragments were removed. A synthetic implant was sutured onto the triceps tendon and fixed on the proximal ulna by an interference screw (IS) in a bone tunnel. A transarticular Jean-Alphonse Meynard external fixator was applied for 3 weeks. Results After 3 weeks, the dog had moderate lameness with a painless elbow. At 1.5 months, it had severe lameness with a painful elbow and mild osteoarthritis (OA). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed, and intensive physical therapy was initiated. Lameness improved at 2.5 and 3.5 months despite mild OA. At 9 months, the dog had mild lameness and a swelling of the elbow. Radiographs showed moderate OA and lucency around the IS. Bacteriologic examination was positive. The implants and infected tissues were removed, and antibiotics were prescribed for 1 month. At 18 months, the dog had mild lameness with no pain. At 33 months, it had intermittent mild lameness with no pain, yet severe OA. Conclusion Triceps tendon re-insertion onto the proximal ulna yielded satisfactory long-term outcome in this dog with nonreconstructible olecranon fracture.

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.
