Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Deep learning has the potential to automatically triage orthopedic emergencies, such as joint dislocations. However, due to the rarity of these injuries, collecting large numbers of images to train algorithms may be infeasible for many centers. We evaluated if the Internet could be used as a source of images to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for joint dislocations that would generalize well to real-world clinical cases.
