BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hand fractures are commonly presented in emergency departments, yet diagnostic errors persist, leading to potential complications. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in fracture detection has shown promise, but research ...
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 au...
Background and purpose - Advancements in software and hardware have enabled the rise of clinical prediction models based on machine learning (ML) in orthopedic surgery. Given their growing popularity and their likely implementation in clinical practi...
Background and purpose - Artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML) have become common research fields in orthopedics and medicine in general. Engineers perform much of the work. While they gear the results towards he...
Background and purpose - External validation of machine learning (ML) prediction models is an essential step before clinical application. We assessed the proportion, performance, and transparent reporting of externally validated ML prediction models ...
Background and purpose - A correct diagnosis is essential for the appropriate treatment of patients with atypical femoral fractures (AFFs). The diagnostic accuracy of radiographs with standard radiology reports is very poor. We derived a diagnostic a...
Background and purpose - Machine learning (ML) techniques are a form of artificial intelligence able to analyze big data. Analyzing the outcome of (digital) questionnaires, ML might recognize different patterns in answers that might relate to differe...
Background and purpose - Classification of ankle fractures is crucial for guiding treatment but advanced classifications such as the AO Foundation/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) are often too complex for human observers to learn and use. We h...
Background and purpose - Deep-learning approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are gaining interest in the medical imaging field. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a CNN to discriminate femoral neck fractures, trochanteric f...
