Individual muscle strengths in rehabilitation outcomes of distal radius fracture.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common fracture types and elderly patients often struggle to achieve functional recovery, which could be overcome by precise rehabilitation. This study aims to develop an innovative approach for acquirin...

Automatic ultrasound image alignment for diagnosis of pediatric distal forearm fractures.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The study aims to develop an automatic method to align ultrasound images of the distal forearm for diagnosing pediatric fractures. This approach seeks to bypass the reliance on X-rays for fracture diagnosis, thereby minimizing radiation expo...

Machine learning-based prediction of the necessity for the surgical treatment of distal radius fractures.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Treatments for distal radius fractures (DRFs) are determined by various factors. Therefore, quantitative or qualitative tools have been introduced to assist in deciding the treatment approach. This study aimed to develop a machine learnin...

Single Joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL-SJ) robotic exoskeleton therapy in improving functional outcomes among workers with wrist fractures: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Robotic technologies have been developed for motor rehabilitation and such robots have shown favourable results when compared with equivalent doses of usual clinical therapy. Recently, robotic interventions have been suggested to be app...

A Neural Network Model for Intelligent Classification of Distal Radius Fractures Using Statistical Shape Model Extraction Features.

Orthopaedic surgery
OBJECTIVE: Distal radius fractures account for 12%-17% of all fractures, with accurate classification being crucial for proper treatment planning. Studies have shown that in emergency settings, the misdiagnosis rate of hand/wrist fractures can reach ...

An open source convolutional neural network to detect and localize distal radius fractures on plain radiographs.

European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society
PURPOSE: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are often initially assessed by junior doctors under time constraints, with limited supervision, risking significant consequences if missed. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can aid in diagnosing fractures....

The Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence Models in Hand/Wrist Fracture and Dislocation Diagnosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

JBJS reviews
BACKGROUND: Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to preserve function and reduce healthcare costs in patients with hand and wrist injury. As such, artificial intelligence (AI) models have been developed for the purpose of diagnosing fractures thr...

AI for detection, classification and prediction of loss of alignment of distal radius fractures; a systematic review.

European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society
PURPOSE: Early and accurate assessment of distal radius fractures (DRFs) is crucial for optimal prognosis. Identifying fractures likely to lose threshold alignment (instability) in a cast is vital for treatment decisions, yet prediction tools' accura...

Accuracy of wrist fracture detection on radiographs by artificial intelligence compared to human clinicians. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: The aim of the study is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) and human readers in the detection of wrist fractures.
