Abstract

BACKGROUND: Traumatic knee injuries are challenging to diagnose accurately through radiography and to a lesser extent, through CT, with fractures sometimes overlooked. Ancillary signs like joint effusion or lipo-hemarthrosis are indicative of fractures, suggesting the need for further imaging. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can automate image analysis, improving diagnostic accuracy and help prioritizing clinically important X-ray or CT studies.
