PMID: 39798800

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients are increasingly turning to the internet, and recently artificial intelligence engines (e.g., ChatGPT), for answers to common medical questions. Regarding orthopedic hand surgery, recent literature has focused on ChatGPT's ability to answer patient frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding subjects such as carpal tunnel syndrome, distal radius fractures, and more. The present study seeks to determine how accurately ChatGPT can answer patient FAQs surrounding simple fracture patterns such as fifth metacarpal neck fractures.
