BACKGROUND: Dislocation is a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), and accounts for a high percentage of subsequent revisions. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the potential of a convolutional neural network model to a...
Pain is an undesirable sensory experience that can induce depression and limit individuals' activities of daily living, in turn negatively impacting the labor force. Affected people frequently feel pain during activity; however, pain is subjective an...
BACKGROUND: Accurate and timely detection of medical adverse events (AEs) from free-text medical narratives can be challenging. Natural language processing (NLP) with deep learning has already shown great potential for analyzing free-text data, but i...
BACKGROUND: The surgical management of complications surrounding patients who have undergone hip arthroplasty necessitates accurate identification of the femoral implant manufacturer and model. Failure to do so risks delays in care, increased morbidi...

BACKGROUND: Semi-active robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) has two options to measure the leg length discrepancy (LLD) and combined offset (CO), the 'enhanced' femoral workflow and the so-called 'express' simplified workflow. The purpose of ...
Many machine learning models show black box characteristics and, therefore, a lack of transparency, interpretability, and trustworthiness. This strongly limits their practical application in clinical contexts. For overcoming these limitations, Explai...

Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a major issue and an important post-surgical complication. Impingement and subsequent dislocation are influenced by the design (head size) and position (anteversion and abduction angles) of the a...

The objectives were to determine errors in femoral anteversion (FA), femoral offset (FO), and vertical offset (VO) with robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) and how consistently these errors are within clinically desirable limits of ±5° and ±5...

Identifying the design of a failed implant is a key step in the preoperative planning of revision total joint arthroplasty. Manual identification of the implant design from radiographic images is time-consuming and prone to error. Failure to identify...
