Artificial Intelligence and the orthopaedic surgeon: a review of the literature and potential applications for future practice: current concepts
Over the last two decades, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the field of surgery has developed exponentially, with the number of PubMed search results for “artificial intelligence” more than doubling between 2019 and 2021, according to Chen et al[1]. The surge of interest in the orthopaedic applications for AI is also noticeable[2]. The number of total publications and citations whose title, abstract and/or keywords refer to the field of artificial intelligence in orthopaedics has grown by a factor of ten between 2017 and 2021[3].
