BACKGROUND: Metastatic femoral tumors may lead to pathological fractures during daily activities. A CT-based finite element analysis of a patient's femurs was shown to assist orthopedic surgeons in making informed decisions about the risk of fracture...
This study performed three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based statistical shape analysis (SSA) by comparing patellofemoral instability (PFI) and normal femur models, and developed a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model. T...
BACKGROUND: Osteophytes are commonly used to diagnose and guide knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment, but their causes are unclear. Although they are not typically the focus of knee arthroplasty surgeons, they can predict case difficulty and length. Fu...
Gaucher disease is one of the most common lysosomal storage disorders. Osteonecrosis is a principal clinical manifestation of Gaucher disease and often leads to joint collapse and fractures. T1-weighted (T1w) modality in MRI is widely used to monitor...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the reliability and applicability of artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of leg axis parameters. We hypothesized that AI-based leg axis measurements would ...
Bone segmentation is an important step to perform biomechanical failure load simulations on in-vivo CT data of patients with bone metastasis, as it is a mandatory operation to obtain meshes needed for numerical simulations. Segmentation can be a tedi...
