Artificial intelligence-based orthopaedic perpetual design

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies in orthopaedic surgeries is becoming increasingly important as it optimises implant designs and treatment procedures. This research article introduces an innovative approach using an AI-driven algorithm, focusing on the humerus bone anatomy. The primary focus of this work is to determine implant dimensions tailored to individual patients.

We have utilised Python's DICOM library, which extracts rich information from medical images obtained through CT and MRI scans. The algorithm generates precise three-dimensional reconstructions of the bone, enabling a comprehensive understanding of its morphology.

Using algorithms that reconstructed 3D bone models to propose optimal implant geometries that adhere to patients' unique anatomical intricacies and cater to their functional requirements. Integrating AI techniques promotes enhanced implant designs that facilitate enhanced integration with the host bone, promoting improved patient outcomes.

A notable breakthrough in this research is the ability of the algorithm to predict implant physical dimensions based on CT and MRI data. The algorithm can infer implant specifications that align with patient-specific bone characteristics by training the AI model on a diverse dataset. This approach could revolutionise orthopaedic surgery, reducing patient waiting times and the duration of medical interventions.
