Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of implant size before surgery is crucial in preparing for total knee arthroplasty. However, this task is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To alleviate this burden on surgeons, we developed a reliable artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict implant size.
