Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has expanded rapidly into various medical fields, such as the orthopedic surgery field. The exponential growth of medical big data, advances in computational power, and sophisticated algorithms have facilitated the integration of AI into clinical practice.AI applications in orthopedic surgery include accurate disease classification, precise imaging analysis, and patient-specific outcome predictions. Recent studies highlight the effectiveness of AI models in classifying the severity of osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system and accurately predicting postoperative transfusion requirements. AI-driven deep learning techniques have shown superior performance in analyzing complex medical imaging, surpassing traditional diagnostic methods. Thus, AI enhances diagnostic precision and offers personalized therapeutic strategies. AI in orthopedic surgery has already emerged opening a new frontier in patient care and clinical outcomes.
