KOLOA, Hawaii — In this video from Orthopedics Today Hawaii, Adolph V. Lombardi Jr., MD, FACS, spoke about use of an artificial intelligence prediction model for knee arthroplasty.
The study assessed the viability of an AI knee arthroplasty prediction model that used three-view radiographs to determine if patients with knee pain were candidates for total knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or no knee arthroplasty surgery.
He said results of the study show the AI prediction model was highly accurate. Researchers found the model predicted if patients had UKA or TKA 93% of the time, and surgery or no surgery 98% of the time.
“With three basic X-rays, there is an artificial intelligence prediction model that works,” Lombardi said.
