Artificial intelligence in orthopaedics surgery: transforming technological innovation in patient care and surgical training

Postgrad Med J. 2023 Jun 30;99(1173):687-694. doi: 10.1136/postgradmedj-2022-141596.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an exciting field combining computer science with robust data sets to facilitate problem-solving. It has the potential to transform education, practice and delivery of healthcare especially in orthopaedics. This review article outlines some of the already used AI pathways as well as recent technological advances in orthopaedics. Additionally, this article further explains how potentially these two entities could be combined in the future to improve surgical education, training and ultimately patient care and outcomes.

Keywords: hip; knee; medical education & training; orthopaedic & trauma surgery.
