INTRODUCTION: The surgical management of patients with failed total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) necessitates the identification of the implant manufacturer and model. Failure to accurately identify implant design leads to delays in care, i...
OBJECTIVE: By using machine learning, our study aimed to build a model to predict risk and time to total knee replacement (TKR) of an osteoarthritic knee.
