Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a condition that poses a risk to the knee joint, resulting in pain and impaired function. However, traditional knee X-ray evaluations using the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system have proven to be inefficient. These evaluations are subjective, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, particularly in busy hospital settings.
