Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in the accurate diagnosis of hip fractures and reduce the workload of clinicians. We primarily aimed to develop and validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the automated classification of hip fractures based on the 2018 AO-OTA classification system. The secondary aim was to incorporate the model's assessment of additional radiographic findings that often accompany such injuries.
