Artificial Intelligence in Orthopedics

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to orthopaedic surgery is gaining popularity. In recent years, there has been a spike in interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Computer systems are becoming increasingly capable of performing activities that would ordinarily need human intelligence, thanks to advances in data storage and processing. Despite the enthusiasm, AI integration into clinical practise is still in its early stages. Large datasets are excellent for the development of AI algorithms, because of the rise in digital medical imaging and information collected in databases and orthopaedic registries. These technologies have the potential to improve patient care on a variety of levels, including diagnosis, management, research, and systems analysis. For most orthopaedic surgeons, artificial intelligence is still a relatively young discipline, thus understanding the scope, breadth, and nature of previous work can help them identify new applications and research topics.
