Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence-based language model chatbots are being increasingly used as a quick reference for healthcare related information. In pediatric orthopaedics, studies have shown that a significant percentage of parents use online search engines to find out more about the health condition of their children. Several studies have investigated the accuracy of the responses generated from these chatbots. The accuracy of responses with these programs in limb lengthening and reconstruction surgery has not previously been determined. Our goal was to assess the response accuracy of 3 different chatbots (ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Copilot) to questions related to limb reconstruction surgery.
