BACKGROUND: In this work, we applied and validated an artificial intelligence technique known as generative adversarial networks (GANs) to create large volumes of high-fidelity synthetic anteroposterior (AP) pelvis radiographs that can enable deep le...
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenging due to variability in the surgeon's experience level. This study developed an MRI-based deep learning system to detec...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has become a popular technology. Studies have investigated the learning curve for surgeons incorporating RA-TKA into practice, but less is known regarding the change in operative efficiency ...
BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for fibrous-fused hips is technically demanding. This study aimed to evaluate the precision and accuracy, as well as the rate of conversion of robotic-assisted THA in such difficult patients.
BACKGROUND: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), computer-assisted navigation (N-TKA) and robotic-assisted methods (RA-TKA) are intended to increase precision of mechanical and component alignment. However, the clinical significance of published patient...
BACKGROUND: Accurate hip joint center (HJC) determination is critical for preoperative planning, intraoperative execution, clinical outcomes after total hip arthroplasty, and commonly used classification systems in primary and revision hip replacemen...
BACKGROUND: The surgical management of complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) necessitates accurate identification of the femoral implant manufacturer and model. Automated image processing using deep learning has been previously developed a...
BACKGROUND: Poor surgical ergonomics and physiological stress have been shown to impair surgical performance and cause injuries. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among arthroplasty surgeons is inordinately high. This study compared surgeon stre...
BACKGROUND: The cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (RA-UKA) remains unclear. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) has been shown to accurately reflect true resource utilization. This study aimed to compare...
BACKGROUND: The use of technology such as navigation and robotic systems may improve the accuracy of component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but its impact on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) remains unclear. This study aims t...
