Abstract

PURPOSE: Preoperative prudent patient selection plays a crucial role in knee osteoarthritis management but faces challenges in appropriate referrals such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and nonoperative intervention. Deep learning (DL) techniques can build prediction models for treatment decision-making. The aim is to develop and evaluate a knee arthroplasty prediction pipeline using three-view X-rays to determine the suitable candidates for TKA, UKA or are not arthroplasty candidates.
