Artificial Intelligence for Bone Disorder

5Utilizing AI to Improve Orthopedic Care

Abstract

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has had an impact on society. A subject called machine learning (ML), which defines a computer’s capacity to recognize patterns in data without being explicitly programmed to do so, is fostering innovation across a wide range of disciplines. Throughout the past 10 years, scientists have worked to advance orthopedics to support surgeons and medical professionals in their work. With the use of algorithms controlled by pattern recognition and self-correction on vast amounts of data to restrict possibilities and lower the risk of making mistakes, artificial intelligence (AI) enables machines to do tasks. AI has already had an impact on orthopedic surgery in several areas, including image identification, risk prediction, patient-specific payment models, and clinical decision-making. Its application is only anticipated to increase. This chapter seeks to serve as a reference, offering the most recent research and achievements in orthopedics connected to these new technologies, outlining the key concepts of various applications, and addressing the most important problems the technology is currently confronting.
