Latest AI and machine learning research in orthopedics for healthcare professionals.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed the potential for opportunistic assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture from routinely acquired imaging. This narrative review synthesizes recent advances across radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), focusing on AI-driven methods for automatic extraction of bone quality markers. ...
OBJECTIVE: We set out to examine how completely artificial intelligence (AI)-based orthopedic studies report their methods. METHODS: A PubMed search covering 2023-2025 was run with a predefined strategy. Screening of titles, abstracts and full texts left 280 eligible papers, and 200 of these were drawn at random for scoring. Each paper was rated against a six-item framework built from the TRIPOD-A...
BACKGROUND: Assessment of idiopathic scoliosis (IS) relies on radiographs and measurement of coronal curve magnitude, but repeated radiation exposure ...
BACKGROUND: Bone age assessment using the Greulich and Pyle atlas is widely used in pediatrics but is subject to substantial reader variability. As ar...
Despite remarkable advances in robotic orthopaedic surgery over the past three decades, current commercial platforms remain precision-assistance techn...
Data-driven approaches are increasingly being adopted in human motion analysis research. Joint moment estimation plays a crucial role in providing val...
BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] reflects inherited atherothrombotic risk, whereas the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) integrate...
Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured a...
There are many types of moveable joint in the human body, with each characterised by compactness and high functionality. In contrast, humanoid robots ...
BACKGROUND: Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a frequent and clinically significant complication following parathyroidectomy (PTX) in patients with second...
BACKGROUND: Hip and knee replacement are common procedures with an increasing focus on same-day surgery. However, capacity constraints limit the numbe...
Computed tomography (CT)-guided musculoskeletal interventions (MSK-CTg-IR) are integral to modern interventional radiology, offering precise anatomic ...
PURPOSE: Osteoporosis increases the probability of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), and the resultant pain severely limits physica...
PURPOSE: Offset measurement is critical in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for guiding restoration of native anatomy. However, measurements are time-cons...
BACKGROUND: Bone mineral density (BMD) is compromised in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared to the background population, yet the underly...
Uniportal full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) has expanded over three decades from percutaneous discectomy to include multilevel decompression, endos...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain a critical burden in professional football, resulting in prolonged absence and high economic costs. W...
In recent years, deep learning (DL) has achieved excellent performance on the joint classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs) and light detection ...
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Accurate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding is essential for compliant revenue cycle management in spine surgery. However...
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in spine care; however, concerns remain regarding citation hallucinat...
