Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have recently exploded in both accessibility and applicability, including in health care. Although studies have demonstrated its ability to adequately answer simple patient issues or multiple-choice questions, its capacity for deeper complex decision making within health care is relatively untested. In this study, we aimed to delve into AI's ability to integrate multiple clinical data sources and produce a reasonable assessment and plan, specifically in the setting of an orthopaedic surgery consultant.
