Latest AI and machine learning research in orthopedics for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for automatic classification of cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) stages on lateral cephalometric radiographs (LCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Overall, 1140 LCRs were labeled and classified according to the CVM user guide by McNamara and Franchi using a two-stage pipeline. In the first stage, the LCRs were cropped to extract the region of ...
Titanium alloys are widely used in medical applications, particularly in dentistry and orthopedics, due to their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and low density. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) offers an effective method for producing microrough and porous surfaces, which are valued in the medical sector for supporting stable cell integration. However, EDM also generates surfaces with...
Immersive technologies have gained increasing relevance in orthopedic surgical education; however, the scope, outcomes, and maturity of extended reali...
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for postoperative cement nonunion in patients with OVCF and to develop prediction models for clinical risk stratif...
Type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP) is a significant complication of type 2 diabetes, characterized by an increased risk of fractures. While dysregul...
Structural optimization of artificial bone scaffolds faces trade-offs between mechanical integrity and permeability. To address this, we propose an in...

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is increasingly recognized as a systemic collapse of the epigenetic regulatory network, driven by cellular sen...
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an immune-mediated cholestatic liver disease, and osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent comorbidity that aggravates th...
This study aimed to identify independent risk factors associated with poor wrist function recovery 6 months after internal fixation of distal radius f...
Over the past two decades, zebrafish have become an increasingly prominent model organism for basic research, drug discovery, and toxicology. Its adva...
Early detection of spider mite emergence is highly challenging due to the lack of visible symptoms and subtle physiological changes. To address the ra...
Simulation of the dynamic electromechanical microenvironment is of great significance in tissue engineering, especially in the regeneration of those e...
Radiography remains central to orthopedic diagnosis and surgical planning, yet many clinically important measurements (angles, offsets, alignment indi...
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing surgery for bone metastases typically have advanced disease, and postoperative survival varies substantially. Accurate...
