Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy, frequently presenting with pain, numbness, and muscle weakness due to median nerve compression. However, diagnosing CTS becomes particularly challenging in patients with Congenita...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound (US)-based deep learning (DL) models for grading the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are scarce. We aimed to advance CTS grading by developing a joint-DL model integrating clinical information and multimo...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this scoping review is to analyze the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in ultrasound (US) imaging for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), with an aim to explore the potential of AI in enhancing diagnostic accur...

OBJECTIVES: Advances in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using ultrasonography (US) and artificial intelligence (AI) aim to replace nerve conduction studies. However, a method for accurate severity diagnosis remains unachieved. We explored the...
INTRODUCTION: ChatGPT and its application in producing patient education materials for orthopedic hand disorders has not been extensively studied. This study evaluated the quality and readability of educational information pertaining to common hand s...
BACKGROUND: ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence technology, has the potential to be a useful patient aid, though the accuracy and appropriateness of its responses and recommendations on common hand surgical pathologies and procedures must be understo...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, ChatGPT has become a popular source of information online. Physicians need to be aware of the resources their patients are using to self-inform of their conditions. This study investigates physician-graded accuracy and co...
CASE: A 47-year-old orthopaedic surgeon presented with acute volar left wrist pain. He performed over 250 robot-assisted knee arthroplasties each year. Color Doppler evaluation revealed bilateral persistent median arteries and bifid median nerves, wi...
