Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving numerous innovations in the field of orthopedics. In pediatric orthopedics, AI facilitates the rapid and accurate diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip and bone age assessment, while also playing a pivotal role in the early detection of scoliosis and congenital anomalies. In musculoskeletal oncology, AI leverages magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and X-ray imaging to predict the tumor location, size, and malignancy, and support accurate pathological analysis. It is used further in surgical planning and prognosis prediction, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of treatments. For foot and ankle disorders, AI assists in the early diagnosis and treatment planning of conditions such as plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, and hallux valgus, while also supporting gait analysis and tailored rehabilitation plans to restore patient functionality. The continued integration of AI technology in orthopedics is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy and elevate treatment planning precision, enabling more patient-specific care as data training and application scopes expand.
