Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Surgical techniques that preserve the native meniscus have been investigated in the setting of irreparable meniscal tears, including meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) and meniscal synthetic scaffolds. Complete MAT removes the entirety of the native meniscal tissue for transplantation with suboptimal long-term survivorship. Similarly, synthetic meniscal scaffolds have shown variable success rates with an inability to regenerate functional tissue or prevent early osteoarthritis. Therefore, segmental MAT techniques have been explored to preserve the healthy, native meniscal biology and decrease knee contact pressures and total surface contact area. Current indications for segmental MAT continue to evolve but may be considered in near-complete or full-thickness segmental meniscal deficiency, generally 1 to 2.5 cm in total meniscal length. Typically, the segmental deficiency is in the posterior or posterior-middle junction of the meniscus. This technique article outlines an arthroscopic technique for lateral segmental meniscal transplantation for an irreparable lateral meniscal oblique radial tear of the posterior horn with a 20-mm segmental defect.

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.
