Abstract

PURPOSE: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered the gold standard treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Common complications associated with TKA include implant loosening and periprosthetic fractures, which often require revision surgery or fixation. Challenges arise when medical records related to the knee prosthesis are lost, making it difficult to plan for revision surgery effectively. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system to classify the types of knee prosthetic implants using plain radiographs.
