Distal Radius Bone Graft for Staged Masquelet Procedure in Hand Segmental Bone Loss
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: The Masquelet technique; a staged procedure with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spacer and subsequent autologous bone graft (BG), is a viable treatment option for complex hand injuries with significant segmental bone loss. Iliac crest autografts are commonly used for BG, but associated complications suggest alternative sites for bone graft harvesting. Materials and Methods: Since using the distal radius for bone graft in the hand has the advantage of same location for surgical and postsurgical management, we discuss the technique and perform a retrospective review of ten patients undergoing staged Masquelet procedure for hand segmental bone loss. Results: Using the distal radius as a donor for Masquelet procedure in the hand is feasible and seems to have similar results and fewer complications as compared with other BG donor sites. Discussion: The distal radius as a bone graft donor has multiple advantages and similar outcomes compared with other donor sites for bone graft when using the Masquelet technique in the hand.

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.
