BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of implant size before surgery is crucial in preparing for total knee arthroplasty. However, this task is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To alleviate this burden on surgeons, we developed a reliable artificial int...
Recent reports have suggested that there may be a relationship between footstrike pattern and overuse injury incidence and type. With the recent increase in wearable sensors, it is important to identify paradigms where the footstrike pattern can be d...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of creating an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to enhance prosthetic socket shapes for transtibial prostheses, aiming for a less operator-dependent, standardized approach.
BACKGROUND: Optimal implant position and alignment remains a controversial, yet critical topic in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Future study of ideal implant position will require the ability to efficiently measure component positions at sca...

BACKGROUND: Automatic High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) landmark detection methods promise to improve the effectiveness and standardisation of HTO preoperative planning. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of HTO datasets, existing methods are less ro...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Longitudinal in vivo studies of murine xenograft models are widely utilized in oncology to study cancer biology and develop therapies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of these tumors is an invaluable tool for monitoring tumor g...
Recent advancements in deep learning have significantly enhanced the segmentation of high-resolution microcomputed tomography (µCT) bone scans. In this paper, we present the dual-branch attention-based hybrid network (DBAHNet), a deep learning archit...

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) induces temporal alterations in bone structure, such as osteolytic bone lesions, which are challenging to identify through manual image interpretation. The large variation in radiologists' assessments, even at expert...
BACKGROUND: Tibial intramedullary nailing (IMN) represents a standard treatment for fractures of the tibial shaft. Nevertheless, accurately predicting the appropriate nail length prior to surgery remains a challenging endeavour. Conventional techniqu...
