Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) significantly impacts the quality of life of those afflicted, with many patients eventually requiring surgical intervention. While Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is common, it may not be suitable for younger patients with unicompartmental OA, who might benefit more from High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). Effective patient education is crucial for informed decision-making, yet most online health information has been found to be too complex for the average patient to understand. AI tools like ChatGPT may offer a solution, but their outputs often exceed the public's literacy level. This study assessed whether a customised ChatGPT could be utilized to improve readability and source accuracy in patient education on Knee OA and tibial osteotomy.
