Abstract

BACKGROUND: The readability of most online patient educational materials (OPEMs) in orthopaedic surgery is above the American Medical Association/National Institutes of Health recommended reading level of sixth grade for both English- and Spanish-language content. The current project evaluates ChatGPT's performance across English- and Spanish-language orthopaedic OPEMs when prompted to rewrite the material at a sixth-grade reading level.
