contents We derive a class of inner-extremal regular black hole solutions characterized by a degenerate inner horizon. These geometries arise as polymerized vacuum configurations inspired by loop quantum gravity and constitute effective quantum-gravity solutions that admit a Birkhoff-type theorem, rendering them unique within the considered framework. We show that such inner-extremal horizon configurations exist only for a finely tuned value of the mass determined by the parameters of the theory. Building on this construction, together with the corresponding non-degenerate regular black hole solutions, we perform a generic analysis of the mass inflation phenomenon in four-dimensional spacetimes using a colliding null-shell setup near the inner horizon. We identify the conditions under which mass inflation becomes significant and examine how the presence of a minimal length scale affects this behavior, with particular emphasis on the case where such a scale is motivated by loop quantum gravity. Finally, we comment on the stability of these configurations under the null-shell perturbations considered in our analysis.
