Die Orthopädie, vol. 52, pp. 1011–1016

Abstract

The twenty-first century has proven that data are the new gold. Artificial intelligence (AI) driven technologies might potentially change the clinical practice in all medical specialities, including orthopedic surgery. AI has a broad spectrum of subcomponents, including machine learning, which consists of a subdivision called deep learning. AI has the potential to increase healthcare delivery, improve indications and interventions, and minimize errors. In orthopedic surgery. AI supports the surgeon in the evaluation of radiological images, training of surgical residents, and excellent performance of machine-assisted surgery. The AI algorithms improve the administrative and management processes of hospitals and clinics, electronic healthcare databases, monitoring the outcomes, and safety controls. AI models are being developed in nearly all orthopedic subspecialties, including arthroscopy, arthroplasty, tumor, spinal and pediatric surgery. The present study discusses current applications, limitations, and future prospective of AI in foot and ankle surgery.
