Recent technological advancements in Artificial Intelligence for orthopaedic wound management

In orthopaedics, wound care is crucial as surgical site infections carry disease burden due to increased length of stay, decreased quality of life and poorer patient outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a vital role in revolutionising wound care in orthopaedics: ranging from wound assessment, early detection of complications, risk stratifying patients, and remote patient monitoring. Incorporating AI in orthopaedics has reduced dependency on manual physician assessment which is time-consuming. This article summarises current literature on how AI is used for wound assessment and management in the orthopaedic community.
